71 Horizon Jet Boat w/ Big Block Olds - Lake Ready - $5000 Well, I have too many toys and have decided to sell the boat. It is a 1971 Horizon hull with a 468 big block Oldsmobile engine and a Jacuzzi WJ pump with a new place diverter on it. The boat has current registration for Texas and is lake ready. I don't know of any current problems with the boat, but jet boats are not for people who don't like to tinker. The specs on the engine: 455 Olds bored to a 468, high compression pistons, block mods for better oiling and half holed cam bearings, 14 qt oil pan, Offenhauser tunnel ram intake, MSD6 marine ignition, MSD dist, Demon 850 carb. With the new place diverter the boat will shoot a rooster tail about 5-7 ft high and 150-200 ft long. The back seat is not in the boat, but is included. It also comes with the tandem axle trailer seen in the picture below. If you have any questions please ask!

I'm sure you figured it out, but to anyone who will be wondering the back seat goes directly in front of the engine. I haven't installed it because I wanted to make a guard for the belt, so that if someone with long hair was sitting there they wouldn't get scalped. However, I never got around to it, and haven't needed it yet...

Ha ha...thanks man! Nothing like a girly colored boat that sounds like thunder and can move out at 65-70. Like I say, I really love this boat and hate to sell it. But, I work on the road (construction) and just can't take everything with me. Since my Formula is close to finished, I would rather take it...

Oh yea, you could fish from it! The impeller has a rock grate over it, so they'd have to work hard to get sucked up into it. You'd probably scare the fish getting to them with all the damn racket and vibrations though! Maybe add a trolling motor, live well, and one of those seats on a post and you'd be good to go...haha.
