I am kind of a nostalgia buff and was wondering if jetters on the board can post pics of jets that they have from the 60's 70's and 80's It would be cool to see what things looked like back then. Not sure how many pics are out there, I see them pop up every once and awhile.

Who's that guy with the old jet boat site... Teshio or something. He's got pics of almost every old boat with a jet in it.

I wish I had some history on Bojo Boats(my boat). I mention that name and only get one or 2 responses and really no history. That sucks because it is a cool looking boat.

Here is a pic of my buddys 1962 Buehler Turbocraft. Runs great and is a lot of fun. Runs about 45 with a 350 Chevy. The interesting thing is that to steer this boat there are 2 plates that bend the blast of water out of the jet to one side or the other. The blast actually comes out about 4 inches above the bottom of the boat. It is a knee killer on skis even at a 100' of rope. Just a neat old boat. He may be interested in selling. :cool:
Sorry for the size of the pic, I do not have editing software here at work to make it smaller. :(
