Re: need the info...throw me a bone here

Use Google (or any search engine) and type in "jet boats" and you'll get many websites regarding that type of boat. <br /><br />I have several listed in my favorites folder on my desktop computer but I am on my laptop right now and don't have access to them at the moment. <br /><br />I have a 1979 21'Hondo Daycruiser with a 455 olds and have found many helpful sites by simply searching for them.<br /><br />Good Luck!

A 19'with a 460 Ford and a 671 blower on top, it took us about a year to get er done. You had to be careful not to take a large wave in the back or it would swamp the thing. I went for one ride and it was the end of my jet boating days, I’m getting to old for that sh%*! Had the crap scared outta me LOL. I don’t know how fast we were going but it was to fast for me, we were out of the water more then in it with every ripple on the river. Have fun and be careful!
