110 mph Jet Boat on Ebay

[cal***boat]

Yea right, Let the boat bashing begin.
How fast is it really ?110 mph Jet Boat (http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2452969606)

[promod]

WE KNOW WHAT IT TAKES FOR 110 IN A JET ESPICALLY IN A V BOTTOM MUST LESS A TUNNEL LOL
LATER
PROMOD:D :D

[Mopar426]

Must be the same guy with the 650hp olds!! Maybe he put the OlDs back in his boat and relisted it!!!This is too funny.:D

[Squirtcha?]

Nah, that's a Ford. You know how those Ford guys are. Always making false claims of speed. (snicker snicker hee haw)
He's claiming the motor by itself has 700 hp? Not a chance. One thing's for sure, if I had a motor that had $13,000 worth of hardware in it, I'd be telling ya all about it. It's got a comp cam and lifters. That's one expensive camshaft.
He's not braggin about any trick pump work or setup stuff? I'd say he's lucky if he's running over 70.
Geez what a bullshitter!

[cyclone]

that's some sweet ass upholstery in that boat.

[Terrible Buddhist]

I just emailed him asking if he would guarantee the speed on a GPS :)

[Squirtcha?]

Tell em you'll take it out with a gps and he can knock off $100 for every mph under the claim. If it'll only run 70 mph, you'll get the boat for $1000. Imagine getting a boat with a $13,000 motor, for a grand! Wouldn't that be something?
This guys cracks me up.

[jet4fun]

has he answered you back???
tell him if that boat goes 110 on gps then you'll fly out there and give him 10 grand, rent a truck and tow it home....
if it doesnt go 110+ then he needs to reimburse the round trip ticket and buy a 12er... see if he changes his tune then
wait a minute, he said the motor was dyno'ed at over 700h.p. tell him to e-mail the sheets...

[dawgdude]

Cyclone, I'm with you on that upholstery. It's got to be worth 20 or 30 mph at least! Wish I had those front seats, be dam comfortable in the living room watching the football game. They'd match my Velvet Elvis pictures. 110 mph,,,NOT!

oh yeah, this boats teeming with badazznezz... check out the "custom headers". and ya gotta love the "injector hat look" scoop (thank you mr gasket, without you how would we build a 110 mph jet boat:confused:)... he really spared no expense on his 7quart oil pan, thats what i'd put underneath a 13k motor...
this guy is great, he must be a used car salesman, check this out:YOU ARE BIDDING ON ONE OF THE BADDEST JET BOATS ON EBAY!!!!! o.k. this one is even betterNO OTHER BOAT ON THE LAKE WILL TOUCH THIS BOAT WITHOUT NITROUS.I PERSONALLY THINK THIS BOAT SHOULD HAVE BADD AZZ ON THE SIDE AS ITS NAME.

cuz it probably has a Panther and there's no need to brag about it ;)

[HalletDave]

THE BOAT HAS OVER $ 20,000 INVESTED IN IT AND OVER $13,000 IN THE MOTOR ALONE.
He should have put some money into fixing all the fiberglass damage where there was once a rub rail. Shitty paint job as well.
My .02 ;)

[HotHallet]

Dude's full of it! That 7 Qt. pan is kinda scary! Some sucka will buy the bull and that's really sad!

[jet4fun]

yeah, it's already up to 5600. thatz amazzing:eek:

[superdave013]

turd won't hit 70.
I like the seats too. Must have been huggie bears old boat. :)

[HBjet]

I was thinking I had some competition here. I have just over 700hp with my motor. But it didn't cost me 13k that's for sure. I do have 12 quart oil pan though. Muse be why I can only run in the 90's and he is at 110. Must be all that extra oil slowing me down.
I can't help but laugh...
"YOU ARE BIDDING ON ONE OF THE BADDEST JET BOATS ON EBAY!!!!!"
"IF YOU WANT TO FEEL LIKE A MILLION BUCKS ON THE WATER FOR UNDER $20,000 THIS IS YOUR TICKET"
"NO OTHER BOAT ON THE LAKE WILL TOUCH THIS BOAT WITHOUT NITROUS"
"THIS BOAT SHOULD HAVE BADD AZZ ON THE SIDE AS ITS NAME"
HBjet

[BLEWBAYOU1]

THE MOTOR WAS DYNO-ED AT OVER 700 HP AND HAS BEEN CLOCKED AT OVER 110MPH ON WATER.SO THATS NOT INSANE ENOUGH FOR YOU?ADD NITROUS AND YOU ARE THERE.
This kills me. The last line reads "Add Nitrous and you are there."
Where is there? Dead? I think he meant 70mph and 110 HP.
Brian:eek:

[cyclone]

that's it. if that fool gets 5,600 bucks for that pile then i'm definately puttin' my boat on ebay and calling it the reddest jet boat on the planet. that ought to be worth at least 21,000.

[HBjet]

Cyclone, you got to call it "The Red Rocket"
That's at least worth 25k

[FoMoCo]

I saw this thing yesterday on ebay and couldn't stop laughing! First its got 600's for Carbs, looks like stock heads, and no pics of the pump! I get it, it goes 70 on the water and it gets towed at 40mph, so he adds it up right!!!

[Bense468]

This boat ran low 10's in the quarter :eek: :eek: :eek:

[Bense468]

10 minutes that is, but he enjoyed a COCKtail on the way down. What a joke.

[Squirtcha?]

Oh comeon now Bense, I'm sure it's faster'n that. Unless maybe he forgot to peel the duct tape off the intake first.
Some poor sap is gonna pay $5600 + for a boat that's worth maybe $4000. That's a shame.
Guys, I think we owe cal***boat a big thank you for forking over this turkey.
I haven't had this much fun since the Ol' 650 hp Oldsmobay.

[Unchained]

I especially liked,
NO OTHER BOAT ON THE LAKE WILL TOUCH THIS BOAT WITHOUT NITROUS.
Next I expected to read the one about taping the $50 dollar bill to the dash and no one could grab it because the boat's violent acceleration had them plastered back in the seat.
And then, "It was an ex race boat"
"It was too fast for me"
:rolleyes:

[LVjetboy]

"Clocked at over 110 mph"

The new owner may paint "Bad Ad" instead of "Badd Azz" on the side when he gets beat by a jet ski first time out.

I'am not in the jet section to much but this one was too good to pass up.
Enjoy it my friends and bash away, You never know this guy may be a LURKER in here and is going to come after all of us to kick our AZZ. LOL

[1 fast okie]

be nice! any boat can ran 110mph during the winter when your sitting in the garage drinking some beer and doing some serious trailier racing with your buddies

[REGISTERED USER]

Not only does it sound like this guy is full of shit, but I'm guessing he has some shills bidding it up too.
Check who's bid on the boat and then check his feedback, and what the common link found in both has been buying.
The current high bidder has 0 feedback so this seller may get a taste of his own (bullshit) medicine.

I bet he'd be lucky to crack 70.
But the interior is probably good for picking up chicks :rolleyes: ! It's right out of a 70's porno!!!

[HotRod Sprint]

Maybe we oughta email all the bidders with a link to this thread.

[Jetmugg]

I asked some questions about the boat, and whether he could provide evidence of 700HP and 110 mph. Here's his reply.
We can have it dynoed and if its not over 700 HP I WILLGIVE U THE DAMN
THING
THIS IS THE BADEST MOTHER****ER THAT EVER CROSSED THE WATER.U MY FIRIEND
DONT HAVE WHAT IT TAKES TO RIDE HER
I think that everyone here should inquire with him about this boat. I don't want it, but if it doesn't make 700 hp, he is willing to give it away. One of you lucky guys can have it.

What was the last bid?
Hey John,
How'd you know about this little deal?
It's right out of a 70's porno!!!
You don't have any vintage porn laying around do ya?

[Mopar426]

I love the coctail lounge seat look. He sould put a table in the back and a wet bar!!! I could get the boat to go that fast, behind my 70 roadrunner on the interstate!!! I bet when this forum pans out he retracts his auction like the OLDS guy!!!:D

[cal***boat]

I e-mailed him early this morning and still have not got a reply back.
:confused: WTF :confused:

[Jetmugg]

I got a reply in about an hour. How many others have emailed him about the claims in his ad? I also let him know that shill bidding is against ebay rules, and that it could get him and his buddy kicked off ebay.

I just sent him an email asking for a test ride with my gps. Will see if he replies. I also sent him a link to this thread. I think for fun I will email the bidders with the link as well...:D :D

[1 fast okie]

maybe he has a special f-cut impeller stands for (f*** fast) a long lake and a good half a day to reach 110 opps burnied 20 gallons getting there any body got a paddle

[mickeyfinn]

This is the reply I got. Guy has balls anyway. May just have to see about taking a day off to go test drive the thing:
Sure We will gladly let you test drive it and bring that GPS.I have seen 104
on the gps and you can have it dynoed also.I also have most of the parts
list and machine work done on the boat.I am off next Wednesday if you would
like to come up let me know and I will give you directions.Thanks Scott
Either the guy has balls or actually believes he has a 110 mph boat. Or maybe he has a lake on a real steep hill..oops...that would be called a river huh?..
:D

[Squirtcha?]

Well, we're getting down there. What happened to the 110 mph? Maybe if'n ya keep after him we'll get down to a little more realistic number.
One thing's for sure, if that boat goes 100+ it's one hell of a sleeper and should be at the track.
Someone was right when they said those heads look like stock irons. If they are, it's pretty much impossible to get em to flow much over 200 on the exhaust side. I seriously doubt you could get that kind of hp out of those iron heads.
I'd say he's just calling your bluff mick.

[monkey rage frank]

The interior looks like somthing out of Mels diner,only Mels was cooler. I think the distributer is in the wrong place first off. The guy is full of shit. Hey tell him to log on to hot boat and check these posts maybe we''ll get a rise out of him and he'll drop his price. I'll buy that for a dollar...

[mickeyfinn]

I gave him a link to this thread....sent it to all the bidders too.

[LVjetboy]

So now he has the link, I wonder if he has the balls to post here?
About that parts list...I want to see it. For both the pump and the engine.
Also I'd love to see this cocktail seat sleeper passing bp at the track.
On the other hand, the audience says it goes high 60's...maybe 70. The audience is usually right.

Guess I must have struck a nerve with this guy. He just sent me 2 more emails:

We are free Wednesday come on down.We hook you up.Oh by the way we are not a
bunche of rednecks maybe you should see our race cares.All Jack Rouse
stuff.And guess what they have 320 horsepower lol sad that a boat makes them
sound sick.When u comming down? I cant wait u have my number call lets set
up something,scott
Email 2:
Hey pussy boy guess what.we taking the boat out Wednesday and my friend i will send you a GPS reading of over 104 .You just continue to sell your little 10 dollar shit on Ebay , as a matter of fact why dont you get ballz id love to pullu on a set of skies behind it.Come on where is ur gonads now?
Gotta give him credit for being ballsy

[screamdreambrad]

mickey, if you go now; you'd better take a really large friend with you! he sounds like someone i would not care to run into. (hey pussy boy!) that what they teach in business school over there? wow! i'm ready to get my check book and go buy somethin from him! brad

[mickeyfinn]

I would be willing to bet that if I did show up he would give me directions that don't lead to a boat...LOL

[Jetmugg]

The guy honestly believes that this boat will run 104+. The only thing I can figure is that he had his gps set on km/hour. I'd love for one of us to take a ride-along in this boat to see firsthand what the speed is. If the best minds in the jetboat biz can't make a boat like this run over 100 mph with 700 HP, then this guy is in the wrong business. He should be building 100 mph jetboats.

[Jim Anderson]

I think I will bid on this boat. Do you guys really think this guy is pulling everyones leg?. I had a jet boat and it ran really really fast and I did beat my share of flats and hydros, so maybe the guy is straight up with the sped he ran. I for one think it's possible. Now if I could only sell enough taco's to buy it.

[Moomawnster]

Jim ! I really hope the taco comment is my clue you are kidding !:eek:

[wsuwrhr]

Nice ad, I don't know what it is, the red wheels, the hooptie scoop, the twin 660's, or the red 70's LA-Z-BOY interior. Definitly a fast boat, 700HP? Dreaming, I say 70MPH, and that is pushing it.

[FlatBroke]

Come on all you haters, this guy is calling you out, you guys started this thread, now finish it. The dude is ready to back it up yet none of the haters want to step up and find out if it is true or not. Hiding behind the keyboard for a few individuals seems to be par for the course.

[Squirtcha?]

Who's hiding?
http://jetboat.homestead.com/hiding.jpg
While it's not possible for me to actually make the 1700 mile trip to take a test ride.........................I will say this. If someone trustworthy goes, and verifies the speed on gps, I'll type up a real nice retraction and apologize for my mistake.
Somehow I think I'm pretty safe though.

[LVjetboy]

"Gotta give him credit for being ballsy"
Or being a bullsh*tter. Are the two the same? He said Wednesday right?
It's not about hate. It's about reality vs mr Rogers dream world let's all get along and pat each other on the back mentality. Where do you want to live?
I have no doubt a tweeked jet with the right hull can run 104 with 700 actual hp. Mine runs 100 with about 650 actual. Does his jet run that on the engine with a claimed dyno 700 hp and unknown pump...very doubtful. Maybe with a healthy dose of N2O (apparantly not hooked up now), but still doubtful. If he's got balls, show us the numbers and stats or shut the f*ck up. Or drag it to Lake Mead and prove it to me. I wouldn't drive 2200 miles for a bullsh*tter. In fact, I wouldn't drive 50 miles to buy that piece of sh*t even if it runs 70 mph.
jer

[GlastronGuy]

Proof That It Goes 104!!
http://www.***boat.com/image_center/data/500/395Speedometer.gif
;)

[FlatBroke]

The dude is legitimately selling his boat on eBay with written claims of over 100 mph runs. Usually as a buyer, it is your responsilbilty to go and inspect the merchadise in question. Why would he drag it 2200 miles to Lake Mead to prove to a non potential buyer it can run 100+ mph. For the most part, half of the haters wouldn't know what a 700 hp motor or a 100 mph boat looked like if it was right in front of their faces. Many people made statements regarding the authenticity of the 100 mph claim, nothing wrong with that. But you would have to agree when it was their time to man up when the seller called them out to actually find this claim true or false, they punked out. This guy might or might not have what he claims, but let the BUYER beware and the haters keep typing.

[FlatBroke]

Did you see first hand the email that Jetmugg sent to the seller or better yet, did you see the actual response. How do you not know that Jetmugg or other emailers provoked this alledged response.

[Rexone]

No I didn't and I'm not here to debate its authenticity or if it was provoked. Just stating that "if" that's the response, I would pass, nothing more. Probably just should have kept my mouth shut. I find that more and more these days on ***boat. ;)

[LVjetboy]

"Why would he drag it 2200 miles to Lake Mead to prove to a non potential buyer it can run 100+ mph."
I don't expect him to. Neither would I travel 2200 miles based on a bogus ebay claim.
"half of the haters wouldn't know what a 700 hp motor or a 100 mph boat looked like if it was right in front of their faces."
Haters? Why label those who call out a bullsh*ter as haters? Maybe they just call it like it is without the sugar coating. Like I said, his claims not impossible, just highly unlikely. BTW I know 100 mph and 700 hp. And I can back up my claims with more than a statement like, "you pussy boys don't have what it takes to drive this jet." Ya whatever.
"This guy might or might not have what he claims, but let the BUYER beware"
Let the buyer beware...are you a hater?

And I don't hide behind the keyboard either nor am I a hater. From what is stated in the ad I find it "highly unlikely" that boat performs as stated as do most others educated on fast jet boats. Not impossible but unlikely.
I'm finished posting on this stupid subject. :yuk:

[Squirtcha?]

Wow, didn't realize how serious you were Chris.
The thing that bugs me most is when someone knowingly misrepresents an item they're trying to sell. If it truly is a misrepresentation (lie) then they're doing it intentionally to take advantage of those they're attempting to sell it to. Yes, yes buyer beware and all that, and I suppose it's possible that whoever would buy a boat sight unseen on the seller's word, deserves to be taken advantage of, however I don't see it quite that way.
I believe I was conservative enough in my posting to show doubt, but not hatred.
I'm done with this one (although I may go back and read some to make sure that I'm not lying about the doubt thing now).
Good luck to whoever buys the thing.:wink:

[Sleek-Jet]

You wouldn't be out to much money if the claims are bogus, he only requires .20 % (that's 2/10 of 1 percent) from the winning bidder. What is that???? .... $11.20 :D
Then if it didn't work out, walk away, take the negetive feedback and have a good laugh.

[ChetCapoli]

I got a response back from him when asking about the pump.....he said "all you need to know is three letters, M, P and D this makes what they call "magic", better bid on this badazz jetboat before it's gone! Thanks for your interest, SCOTT"
Gotta be enough there to back up his claims eh?

i bet this little hot rod / boat could blow that pimp lookin 70s challenger into the weeds.
http://www.***boat.com/image_center/data/500/431-9-dang04-med.jpg
nice seats in da pimp boat
i would also bet that he wears a feather in his helmet when he runs across the lake at 110 mph trying to get away from the vise squad or should i say the mod squad :yuk: :yuk: :yuk:
that bad azz 460 ford builds 400 horsepower and gets the extra 300 horsepower from the mr gasket fake fuel injection scoop.
so the secert is out now you need to run two 600 carbs and a fake fuel injection scoop to build that kind of horsepower.
everyone in here needs to go back to horsepower 101 school and get a another diploma in bullshit. :D :rolleyes:

[LVjetboy]

BS should be called out.
And I'm not finished posting on this subject or done with it or any other BS topic. Post what you think Rex, and everyone else feel free. The seller is also more than welcome to post what he thinks and defend his ad...he has the link. Just because this thread's controversial doesn't mean it's a hate thread or not worth posting to. To me it's about truth. I have always posted my true numbers. I don't lie about stuff I sell. Does this jet run 110 as the seller states or not? Pretty simple. And key to his selling point. Should we just say, oh well, he's just trying to sell it for as much as he can get from some poor shmuck who doesn't know so let him be? And buyer beware good luck mr. shmuck? Whatever. Let's all just live in mr. Rogers world and not post what we think?
I'm thinking, no.

[screamdreambrad]

i can't believe anybody would defend this claim. you know i know everybody should know that that pile couldn't possibly get out of it's own way. 700 hp or not, mpd pump, or not.110-104 no way jose'! brad

[TexasJet]

There are two ways that piece of crap will see 110 MPH. 1) Push it off a very tall cliff. 2) Going down the freeway on the cool trailer he has.:D :yuk:

[BrendellaJet]

I thought the same thing! Then I looked at Chris' name, its flat broke, this yahoos name is FlatBroke. Clever!

Just for giggles, I sent the seller this e-mail-
Do you have the dyno sheets you can e-mail me? I will give you $10,000 cash
>for the boat if you can show me an actual GPS reading of 110 mph. Stan

This was his reply-
Stan we are taking it out this week and take a GPS reading.I have personally
seen 104 on the GPS at KERR lake here.I will send you a reading as soon as I
get one and yes it will be a true reading a guy is coming to take it for a
spin and he is bringing his GPS.As far the Dyno I am trying to get that from
its current owner.I have had a lot od smartass replies on this boat but for
someone to think this boat will only go 70mph is NUTZ.I send more info soon,

RD, I thought you would have figured out who the seller is by now. With shit like, "The baddest mofo on the water, and not having the balls to ride her", coupled with the retro 70's porn interior, isn't it obvious who the seller is???
It can be none other than the Baddest Mofo in town, Shaft!!!!!

SERIOUS MONEY???? Isn't that right in the same area as what you figured you could get for that floating towel rack of yours IIRC?
Funny, I haven't heard one person on here come anywhere even close to saying his bullshit might be true because it has an MPD pump. Hell, this bullshitter himself didn't say it was an MPD pump, he skirted that too. Nowhere did he claim it was an MPD pump, he used an old used car salesman trick to imply it did. Looks like it's working on all the newbie E-Bayer's too, doesn't it? Except for this guys shill buddy, all these bidders have what, 10 feedback points between them all? They deserve whatever they get.
It doesn't matter if Jesus Christ himself did the pump work, bullshit is still bullshit.
And we all know who the REAL ignorant ass and #1 shit stirrer is around here. It's you, mr. towel rack schmuck. http://deephousepage.com/smilies/jerkit.gif
Here's an idea! Why don't you have him sell that POS you pride yourself on and get some SERIOUS money to buy a few dozen more towel racks, and a few new condom dispensers?

[squirt]

Actually I'm kinda digging this thread. This guy has this fantastic 100+ mph boat yet in the pics not a good shot of the hull shape, bottom, pump and motor. Just some shots featuring tacky coctail booths. Gotta wonder what why he thought that was so important in the scheme of things when trying to sell the badest boat on the lake:rolleyes:

[cal***boat]

:D I got an e-mail from Scott about the boat today and it only took him 5 days to get back to me. :D
Anyway he did not answer any of the questions I asked him about what was done to the engine, pump and bottom work.
All he stated was the boat belonged to a friend and they think they have about $8k in receipts for work that has been done on the boat.
The pump is a Berkeley 12-JE model and thats it. :D
So I guess that tells us the pump is set back but has that funky intake / ride plate set up under it with no shoe.
I have been told that the 12-JE pump set up is not that good for high performance use and was mostly used for ease of installation. Is that true ?
Below is what Berkeley says about the pump.
Berkeley Jet Drive Model 12JE
DESCRIPTION: The Model 12JE Jet-Drive is constructed of a super-tough, high-strength, aluminum alloy, castings the finest and most serviceable material available. Precision machined and hard-anodized, assembled with stainless steel fasteners, assures maximum performance with a minimum of maintenance. Dissimilar metals are protected from each other by inert insulators to retard corrosion. Using Berkeley's unique single stage, mixed flow, impeller, this unit gives maximum thrust per horsepower. Developed over a period of many years, and field tested, assures the user of the Model 12JE Jet-Drive many years of trouble-free boating. A popular unit with boat manufacturers because of its ease of installation in specially molded hulls.
APPLICATION: Designed for fast, simple installation in specially molded hulls measuring 14 to 24 feet in overall length, with a gross weight of not over 5,000 pounds per unit, including passengers and gear.

If he was on the west coast, we could get someone to ski behind it flat out and blow his mind. I saw something in one of his replies to the effect that "you can have it dynoed", which would tend to indicate that he never did, even though he said so.

[screamdreambrad]

he had it dyno'd on the kph scale 68=104 375=700 ya know (kentucky scale) oh! brad

OK, you ****ers stop baggin on the ford, e pump dealio, I have the same set up in my boat and with iron heads and a blower it would do 123 and you could catch the dipstick when you lifted as it was blown out from all the blow by. sheesh I got to get some of what he is smoking.:rolleyes:

The E pump is most definitely not a performance pump.

i call BULL SHIT on this one, i have the same intake and carbs and my shit is running lean with the 600's and i have just about all you can do to a stock head and factory block. and i even port matched my intake.... my boat will only go about 75 mph......what a joke...any way havent been on in a while and got a kick out of this one:D :D

[Jet Hydro]

Well shit, I just took the SJ out (The Turd) it`s got a 12JE and a 468 with 2, 600 on top and it broke in to the 140mph club. I`ll take the first $15,000 and I`ll even give you my broken GPS. "Yep" that`s right, I went so damn fast that the GPS couldnt keep up. http://deephousepage.com/smilies/moon1.gif

[HighRoller]

If I was the guy selling this turd I'd have my buddy pull the trailer down the freeway at 100mph and snap some pics holding the GPS! That's the only way he'll get 100mph out of this thing and he'll have "proof"!

chb, i guess they couldn't get that bad mother****er to fire. :wink: :wink:

[cal***boat]

Rumor has it that the boat was only running on 6 or 7 cylinders and gps was only 99 mph and they could not break the 100 mph mark.
Found that the C117 racing gas was to hot for the engine and melted the electrodes off of 2 spark plugs with the total timing set at 46 degrees. The 600 carbs only have #62 primary jets and stock metering plates in the secondarys and the engine went lean at 6800 rpm up on the top end. They say the rpm's were down from the normal 7200 it turns.
The engine will get a complete high performance tune up with in the days to come by a local ford performance master tech.
Whos going to eat crow now ?

[cal***boat]

:D :D :eek!: :D :D

[Jetmugg]

I don't know who's going to eat crow, but if those numbers are correct, I'm impressed by the speed, but have to wonder about the condition of the engine. Running on 6 or 7 cylinders, stock jetting in the 600 Holleys, leaned out at 6800 rpm, 46 degrees of timing, 2 melted spark plugs, and race gas "too hot" for the engine?
While 99 mph is VERY impressive for a boat like that, it's certainly not 110 mph, and it sounds like the engine is a time bomb. We have to assume that when it made it's 700HP dyno pulls and 110 mph "clocked" top speed runs, that the same 600 Holleys were in place and that the engine had the same setup as described above.
I say good job on getting to 99 mph, but buyer beware.

so who's going to bid $5802.00?

[OMEGA_BUBBLE_JET]

this is great I love it. 46 degrees total timing:eek: it's got me thinking. my pickup shuts down at 99mph. wonder if he wasn't counting on the tow vehicle shutting down when he took his GPS with him. better tow it with a faster truck next time;) :D :rolleyes:

[LVjetboy]

6 or 7 cylinders? Ya whatever.
Nice story Calboats but already seen that bogus claim posted by another bullsh*ter about a different jet on these boards. I say, be no peace keeper, or crow eater worry wart. Just call fako sh*t for what it is.
Boat sellers with car salesman (v-drive) mentality should be called out for what they are. In the photos he seems honest about rail dings and flaws. But most potential jet boat buyers focus on performance not so much cosmetics. Thinking no big deal I can fix that fiberglass flaw when I get the money...at least it goes REALLY fast! You think the seller doesn't know this? So does the sellers supposed honesty in cosmetics carry over to performance? Is 70 mph the same as 110 or 100 mph? Now rumor has it 99? Ya whatever.
As in not likely.

Jer, I know it's all BULLSHIT and thats why I posted it, You do remember I'am the one that started this thread about his bullshit claims of 110 mph in that thing.
I for one and yourself know just what it takes to go that fast in a jet and this boat he is trying to pawn off will never do it.
My CP Comp Tunnel was 50 times the boat that this guy has and the best it ever ran was 104 mph so believe me I know it's bulshit.
The post that I made about the 99 mph bullshit was e-mailed to me my another member here on the boards and thought you guys would get a laugh out of it.

[Jetmugg]

It's up to $6700. There's one born every minute.

[King Kuracz]

Ended at $6900 to a newbie buyer.

Well...since he is requiring "PAY PAL OR CERTIFIED MONEY ORDER ONLY.20% DUE AT END OF BIDDING"...
...that guy that won better come up with $13.80 real quick.

I'm wondering if in today's lawsuit society if the seller could be sued if the boat did not run the speed or have the HP stated in the auction. Anybody know?

[mickeyfinn]

I would assume that it would be "fraud" or something similar and the buyer could sue for a refund or maybe even sue for however much it would cost to bring the boat up to advertised standards.

misrepresentation, fraud and false advertising just to name a couple. There's all kinds of stuff the buyer can do should the boat not go it's advertised speed.
Hell, the guy could have advertised it did 75 and possibly got the same amount?

[King Kuracz]

All that would prove is that there are a whole lot of stupid people out there.
To anyone who knows much at all about these boats that's a 4 grand boat tops.
The buyer should send his .20% like it says, and make him backup his claim before laying down the rest of the cash. If his claims can't be proven, walk away $13 lighter and make him sue you.
Once the buyer lays down the cash his chances of ever getting any of it back are slim at best, especially if he is any distance away from the seller.
My bet is that we will see this one on E-Bay again, either with a new seller or the same old one. Shouldn't be hard to spot this guys creative writing again next time.

I have a Jet question...
B cut MPD pump
5200 rpms
80mph
Kona.
Does this sound viable?

Yep that would be in the neighborhood for a good pump and a not to wet boat.:cool:

[Back Forty]

wow. interesting.

[squirt]

Just opened the link. I know this boat and the owner. He takes REAL good care of his stuff and the boat does exactly what he says it does. There are alot of good folks that have seen it many times. Tims Kona rides nice.

Yep it's viable, I was there on one of his runs. You can see the boat on the LBBA website in the Past Events under Tower Park 1, or maybe it's TP2, can't remember. There's also a video of him making one of his passes.

[LVjetboy]

Couldn't find the video.
But there's a comment on top speed. Assuming identical run conditions(?), is that PlaceCraft lighter than the Kona? I think that's the first question. My PC is about 800-850 lbs bare.
Hull design influences drag too, but that's not the only thing. Then there's setup Tim mentioned. Those combined make a difference. To try to compare two different fully configured boats and draw conclusions is tough to do if you don't know all the variables. Even with the same engine.
I believe a tunnel will be slower off the line, but at what speed does the PC tunnel kick in...is it 80? Don't know for sure.
I also think Tim's quoted speeds are accurate. Worth mentioning compared to the BS speed comments from that ebay seller.

That's a great story! Good to know that these numbers are possible in the real world. Whats better is this guy is looking at running Olds power! A hot rodder if ever.:cool:

[dawgdude]

Anyone know how I could get ahold of this guy with the Kona that your talking about. Sounds like hes got the same hull I have and with those kind of numbers being thrown up I would like to speak with him about his setup. I tried the olds site and it chews me up and spits me out,,,,my life story.
