After many years of having nothing but v-drives, I have added my first jet to the fleet! Nothing too high performance, just a nice all around, fun family ride.

I'm looking forward to the weekend, the family is excited to have a boat everyone can get into. Not like the rest of the "family" boats we have had:D

Thanks much, she's got just enough power to not get bored when driving and not too much that the wife won't want to drive it.
I almost bought a Eliminator Sprit that was perfect, but was still too small to make the Mrs. happy. This boat has been owned by a freinds brother in law and has less than 30hrs on it. It's a 89 and looks like it just came off the showroom floor.

I'll GPS it this weekend and if it goes 1/2 way decent I might stick Cole in it at Dexter and let him run river racer:D :D Wouldn't even need to install a rope deflector. :eek:
I really wanted the sprint as well, but the kids are not shrinking and I know I would have ended up putting a blower on it and seeing how fast I can get it.
Sound like anybody we know????:D :D
Were heading to the John Day this weekend, bring out the green machine and hang out.

I would love to come out to the JD , I'm probably not going to have it river ready yet. I am putting in the other original fuel tank and billet fuel valve and some plumbing to be able to put water back on the headers or turn off a valve to run them dry. I'm sure that Shell or one of my boy's will want to try their hand at river racer next year. I miss the JD and hope to spend some time there next year. OH!! and by the way, I'm sure there is room for a procharger , eaton, B$M , some kind of blower under that engine cover. What kind of hardware is on the back of that pump. I do have an extra aggressor droop, nozzle , and inserts collecting dust in a box.???? You are welcome to do a little tuning if you want. Once a racer always a racer !! Have fun with your new ride. Has Cole done anything with the Cobra ?? See you guy's at haystack. Jim

I had that exact boat (same gel, color & all) about 5 years ago. Great boat. Ran 58 with the 330hp Hardin marine jet pack deal. Responded very well to a droop (about 4mph top end). Have fun.
