OK I have read all the threads on all the fun trips that everybody goes on Unfortunately I live too far away to join in on the fun . So I am looking for any fellow jetboaters that live in the Kansas city area. I am planning a weekend out memorial weekend and would like to see if I can find and hook up with some new jetboatin friends. :D

Jet Hydro, wheres down south and what lake do you go to? Jake W, I usully go to perry lake or the river north of St. Joe. I was thinking of going to smithville lake but not sure yet. I would like to go to lake of the ozarks but I was afraid I would get swamped by the big 30+ ft boats down there. I have a 18 ft Regatta with a fresh .30 over 460 bbf. Any idea where you guys are going for memorial weekend yet?

American thunder.We will be at the 79 mile marker or Turkey creek my fauther in law owns a lake house thear.
The water in this area is great for jets.On the big week ends thear is alot of trafic but most other week ends it is all most like galss.On a sunday after noon it is like its your own lake.You all most get board.
But do beware of the 3 big weekends Memorial day,4 of July,Labor day.I do not think you would get swamped but it is no fun driving a 18 foot jet in it.
Now down at the other end of the river like 50 mile marker down to the dam I would not want to be in a 25 foot boat much less an 18.

I am going somewhere I just dont know where yet. but I dont want to go to ozarks yet not interested in sinkin my boat! Ill wait for a friend that knows the lake well and go with them. I would like to find a place where a lot of fellow jetboaters and good lookin women hang out I am 30 years old and single again.

It`s about 10 miles west of Goddard, that`s where Hi-Tech Performance is. Just off 54 highway west of Wichita.
There are quit a few of us that you can find on any off race weekend.
I was 2nd fastest but sounds like I`m going to have to do some home work this year????
Duane's helper (((Brain))) has moved in the hood.
I think I can take em :D I`ll be finding out this summer, I`m sure.
That means more money....lol....
Duane will you de-tune his motor ....Please ;)
I cant let a lake boat smoke in front of everyone.
He keeps telling me that he`s going to be KING but I think I can shut em down ??????:eek:

sounds like fun something I would like to see. I know where that is now I just ordered my rebuild from duane yesterday and I am going to get the pump back together this weekend so I am good to go. 2nd fastest huh well you must be pretty fast I am not to fast but I did race a hydro last summer that was built pretty damn good and had nitrous and I lost ofcoarse but I took him sooo bad on the whole shot he had to catch up and then I pulled a hard 180 on the way back that he had to catch up again it was quite cool:D :D
