all right guys this is what ive got 1 1975 hallett bubble deck full stringer boat with yellow and silver mettalic gel coat. i have several options for power and would like some advice as this will be my first ground up jet build ( using my own money anyways. i own a small boat repair facilicty in long beach ca. i have worked on plenty of jets including overhauls and engine swaps. I am looking at putting in a new 8.1 litre indmar jet setup ( i am an indmar dealer) complete and ready to run. what i dont know is how well these engines perform in a jet application! has anyone got any experience with f.i. engines in jets? i will post pics of the project soon so you guys can eye f$@k as i go along. p.s. i am in the middle of a stringer/ floor replacent in a 1974 southwind jet if anyone is interested in photos p.m. me and iwill post them for you. I asm using teak and holly for the floor so well see how my lil experiment turns out. :messedup:
