Hi Corkey 29, go to website offshore performance products, there you'll find seats for all years.

Another suggestion: put an "AA" impeller in your jet ,and a placediverter to help getting the boat on plane.Any boat over 23 feet should have two jets.The only way to get away with a single is with the ungainly looking Hamiltons.

Corkey 29,
Your boat is unusual--not too many in California. Are they more common in Deleware (east coast)? Can you post a pic?

Check out www.boattraderonline.com (http://www.boattraderonline.com) or www.yahoo.com (http://www.yahoo.com) for large luxury Jet Boats. Do a search for 24-50 ft Jet. It looks like they are popular for very large 30+ ft vessels. Sorry not really ***boat stuff.

Hi Spectra,
yes this large jet only has one jet, A jc-12 all I really lnow is that it was built out in california and they are no loner hawaiian boats. The company turned into Team Hawaiian the uncle designed my model and inf is not available. I was hoping to find someone with one like mine. non around on the east coast that I know of. thanks Originally posted by Caribbean19':

Team Hawaiian is in Corona Ca. I have a 1976 Hawaiian that I restored. I had Team Hawaiian put a new floor and bulkhead in it. There were a couple of new 29's just out of the mold when I was there (about 3 years ago). They are very nice, long and narrow. According to the owner, Wayne King, they can get 65mph out of them with 7.4/jet combo. Although if memory serves me right Hot Boat radared them closer to 55. Not too many people opted for the jet, I believe most are Mercs. I just attended the L.A. boat show last week and Team Hawaiian was not there, I don't what there current status is. Last year they had a large cat (mid 20' range).

I have a Sleekcraft 23' daycruzer. My boat is pretty heavy for it's size and for a jet. My original set up was the 455Olds/Jacuzzi setup good for about 45-48 MPH. I did get it up to 52 MPH on radar with just me in the boat and the trim all the way up. I installed a 440 magnum and got 55MPH with three people in the boat. I doing a total change over, i'm installing a new (flowed and blueprinted)Berkeley 12JG pump, and going to a 400 stroker Chrysler that will have about 500 HP.
