    Saw this on the freeway today, I've never seen a boat like this with cavitation plates and a jet drive. Is this common, or is the guy on crack?

    I'm not absolutely sure, but it looks like another one of Jack's early Liberty's. It is sitting on an Allen trailer.
    Here's a pic of Jack's circle boat.

    Very cool guys. Thanks for the clarification, I had just not seen anything like it. And the boat did say Liberty on the side of it.

    Pumps with cav plates not totally out of the ordinary although not super common. My friend Brandon had an old Hallett with cav plates. They worked well and gave the boat something to rock back on and help the boat get out of the water when adjusted properly. That trailer looks like an Allen. I have the same one under my boat with the curved steps. It use to have the same lighting set up until I re-did the whole thing!

    I looked at a boat to buy years ago and the guy had a second boat that was a flatbottom jetboat with cav-plate, don't remember what hull he said it was now but it had a big block mopar, berkeley pump and full stringers. I haven't seen another like it since.
