There used to be a day when you couldn't give these boats away around here. They were literally pass around boats. Now for whatever reason they are stupid expensive very hard to find a good deal.

jet boats are the best. I prefer them over stern drive or V drive. They are WAY more reliable and cheaper to repair. Most jet boats you can still swoop up a clean one for 7-$10k. 15k will get a real nice one. Only downfall is they suck gas, but boats aren't made to save on gas LOL. Plus, you just can't beat the old school V8 jet sound. especially if it has a blower.

Nice boat!!! My dad used to have an old 1976 Taylor SJ with a 465 Olds, Berkley 12JE in it. The Place Diverter was fun to mess with that's for dam sure! I bugged him all the time about dropping an LS in it.
