I didn't think that these were all that rare. I mean, there's probably not thousands of them running around, but I seam to remember one up at Pine Flats in the late 70's... Be curious to see what this sells for. :confused:

[HavasuDreamin']

Sanger definately made more than 5. Maybe they only made 5 jet hydro's in 1980. What a clown!

[superdave013]

It's not a bad looking boat but yeah. I think there is more then 5 out there.

[waterloged]

I know of one in my area. How many are there? I think everyone has bilt one.

[wsuwrhr]

Unfortunately that boat belongs to a friend of mine. He has tried to sell me that boat a couple of times. "Why the hell would I want a jet hydro?" was always my response. If it were a v-drive I would have bought it years ago. Nice boat, too bad it is a jet hydro. I bought his dad's motorhome last week though.

The Chevy in the background is some other project he is working on. Damn truck makes me feel short. When I stand next to the truck I am looking at the
bottom part of the door.

Theres nothing under that chevy. It must be floating. I bet there was only one of them made. :)

Isn't that the new air ride suspension???kinda like back to the future

[Hal]

I guess it does have a front end under it, but I can't see the rear suspension.

[timitunnel]

I like the "needs little or none work to be complete" I guess that means its a turn key boat. Tim

That would be three and with mine that makes four, Sinbad had one = five, Dossangers had one = six, Jimmmyb has one = seven.........hmmm.
Infomaniac also had one but don't think it was a Sanger.

Then wsuwrhr can show him this thread. :D

[wsuwrhr]

Mean Dave, mean. Either way it would be a bitchen boat if it was a REAL hydro. Everyone should be proud of their toys no matter what they are. You guys are going to make me cry....

[jstwkd]

How well can you get the jet hydro to run.The paint job looks great.

[Bense468]

You know whats funny I bet you could still make that thing run faster then a lot of peoples boats on here that talk shit about them. Yeah I said it. I am sure you can get it to run in the 90's with a little work and lots of people talk all kinds of trash. I think the hydro is general looks really bitchen and If i wanted one I would buy one and try to push it to 100 just to rub it in some peoples faces. How many people that are boaters really want to do 150. Some people are happy with 90 and a jet hydro i would bet will do that and look bitchen while at it.

And.......I went from a big block, v-drive ski race boat to my little old jet hydro..........and I like it regardless of popular opinion. :)

[Raskal]

my buddy at work has one called foxy brown .man they are fun boats

[burbanite]

Brian I'm not baggin on the boat. But I am bagging on the ad. Only the very rare part. Guess I'm being kinda mean. But I only mean it in fun, really. :D

[Liberator TJ1984]

What does he want for it now ??? I'm at a point where I have more money than sense...and I like the way it looks :D

[HavasuDreamin']

[burbanite]

Maybe I could swap all my shiznit into that hull? :)

[jstwkd]

If I can make it do 90-100 I'd be happy.The only problem is the water has to flat as hell.How do they ride in chop?

[HavasuDreamin']

burbanite:

I think the flame job is pretty damn good!

[Liberator TJ1984]

I was thinking along Burbanites road...
my motor + heavy Liberator = repectfully fast 90+
my motor + Sanger hydro = Veery Fast Boat ???

[CALIFORNIA PERFORMANCE]

That guy is a friend of a friend. I saw the boat when i barrowed some tools its real clean. I think he use to pit and wrench on Ron Brocksma(dont know how to spell last name :confused: )boat. The truck is bad he is doing a stright axle swap all 1 ton, will be a bad truck when finished. Just a info. :D

[burbanite]

Liberator TJ1984:
my motor + Sanger hydro = Veery Fast Boat ??? Err, probably not as fast as you might want.......... wink

I think the flame job is pretty damn good! Tempting but my long term plans might be compromised....... wink Then again, a new look might be something to consider...?? What do I gain? A set back pump mounting, a ride plate, new colors... I'd better be careful or I'll talk myself into it.
I think the thing that kills it though is the cost of getting it out here.

[burbanite]

Actually, the thing that really kills it is the fact that it was just sold for $2800.....

[HavasuDreamin']

burbanite:
Actually, the thing that really kills it is the fact that it was just sold for $2800..... Yeah, that could pose a problem......... wink

[dossangers]

Theres probaly 50 built mine was a 78 i had full tilt ls7 tunnal ram sonny bryant motor iron the best was 90 ish beyond that it was scary nothing holding it in the water !!! still nothing better looking in the water than a HYDRO!!

[HavasuDreamin']

Burbanite.......I hate to be the one to inform you, but that is a 19' Eliminator Daytona (tunnel). :p
I think I am familiar enough with that hull to know one when I see one. wink :D

The good thing is that once again temptation has been removed from under my nose.... :)
You don't know how close I came recently to owning one of those things you and I have talked about. The fact that I have grown to like being able to reverse around the marina finally kept me in check and focussed on the long term goal wink

[Liberator TJ1984]

Looks alot like my 19'Liberator Hull,,maybe their cousins ??? :D :D :D

http://www.***boat.net/image_center/data/500/61hallet_vector.jpg
I like what I have now as it mostly suits the places I go but I want to venture furthur afield and would like to take in some of the bigger lakes, I definitely need better rough water capabilities in that case.
My last boat was used for ski-racing, whip out the back seat, turn the passengers seat around and go.

I love the Schiadas, Halletts and Raysoncraft and twin turbos have always been a favorite of mine ever since I experienced them in marathon jet boats years ago.
