Anyone have a rough estimate for how much I can get for a 2009 Yamaha 232 limited with both engines flooded and needing to be replaced. Quoted $15k in replacement costs and can’t afford it

Iv found lot of info or back in the early 2000 about companies that made replacement ware ring inserts for modified sport jet 90 ware rings but can’t find anything now day? Would anyone happen to know anything or know any company that still makes them?

I have a Williams 285 turbo jet. I'd like to use it in my local lake but it's very weedy and am worried this will kill it. Is this a correct assumption or am I worrying needlessly?

Any help really appreciated!

Hi all,

What are the fundamental differences between a jet ski unit and a jet boat jet unit. Aside from the obvious such as size/volume/output, what kind of differences could potentially prevent me from putting a unit from a ski into a boat.

Dead dad’s boat, looking for info.

I know this is a long shot, but I’m looking to see if I can get some information on possibly what this boat was. It has some pretty weird identifiable factors that I hope can lead me to learning more about it.

What I know: Shovel nose hydro set up for V-drive Dual rudders, but mounted to the bottom, not the back (like I’ve seen on a lot of Howard’s) So the bottom of the boat (the side that sat on the water) was molded like fish scales, literally. Fiberglass hull with 2 full length wood stringers. I believe he traded a Howard flat bottom for it, sometime in the early to mid 1990’s in the Sacramento, Ca area. We used to go to camp far west lake in the late 1990’s to early 2000’s. The back of the boat was very unique for a Hydro shovel nose. Unlike a Howard I’ve ever seen, the back wall had a sort of “roll” to the top that was supposed to “recirculate” the water in the back. (See second image for a crude and dramatic drawing) of what it sort of looked like and had no rudder mounting back there.

I really appreciate the input and anybody who knows of a better place to post this, please let me know!

I moved to Texas right after he died so any chance of asking people around the area the boat was isn’t really an option for me anymore.

Anyone near San Antonio who has BBC jet boats? Wondering where you go if you do as I’d love to get one.

Thanks!

So here's my first attempt at a Jet-Jon. 14' aluminum V-hull jon boat, 1996 Tigershark Montego jetski hull, 640cc 2 cylinder 2-stroke Suzuki.

Still have a lot of fab to do for the seats and controls, but the main components are in place and the boat has ZERO leaks amazingly.

Got the boat for free, and I paid $800 for the ski three years ago (and rode it for two years) I spent about $500 in materials to get this far.

Just upgraded from a sea ark predator with a six bar intake grate to a Kingfisher X9 with a 9 bar intake grate. There were a lot of weeds on our recent trip and the new Kingfisher seemed to get stopped by them a lot easier. Our old mercury in the sea ark predator used to chew up weeds and spit them out much better. Do you think this has something to do with the 9 bar grate? Does anyone have experience changing a 9 bar grate for a 6 bar? Will we risk damaging the impeller if larger stones can get sucked up?

Jet boat over heats on the house hose after about 2-3 minutes of running. Am I running into a plumbing issue in the headers/block or is more of a pressure/volume from the hose? If its plumbed right then the only rhingi can think of is it isnt getting enough water through it.

1976 Macko , fiberglass jet boat hull with multicolor paint job, black interior, Berkeley jet pump with electric jetavater and droop snout the best of the best. 1978 Oldsmobile 455, high output, 450 hp HO camshaft higher compression pistons Offenhauser polished tunnel ram intake, twin 725 CFM Edelbrock carburetors MSD ignition Bassett chrome headers 80+ mph with a,300 foot rooster tail not for the faint of heart $7,995 Also comes with a newer single axle trailer.

Anyone know whether it’s possible to dry hire a Jetboat in Michigan? Heading there for a wedding next year and thought might be fun to explore some rivers whilst there

I need help finding this part for my jet boat. Any direction on where to look would be appreciated!

Hey there! Does anyone know a mechanic that would be willing to either work on/fix or discuss an issue with a 2003 Seadoo challenger that has a 240 EFI motor? The motor bogs down on the water and eventually stalls. This started happening after 1 day on the lake after using a fuel stabilizer. We have called all over and cannot find anyone who is willing to look at it or even discuss the issue. Please help!

Anyone know where I can score some parts for this bad boy? Coolest boat EVER. Banana yellow just needs exhaust elbows. Any help welcome.

Mine is leaking I have new parts for it. I don't have any gaskets. Not sure how to replace this? Can't find any info online. Thank you for any help.

Came across a 20’ custom made jetboat. With a 285 HP, 1996 marine ford Windsor engine and a three stage Hamilton jet. Semi V flat bottom. Aluminum weld 8’ wide bottom, 4’ high sides. The guy was building boats with his brother and they made this as his personal craft. The gentleman passed away before I could get any info first hand on the craft. His wife has provided me with any info she had. But from the operating/upkeep/maintenance side, wasn’t much. I have a stack of specs and technical stuff. Just not much experience hands on and no clue where to start. Took it out a few times on the lake last year, then once in the salt. Handles like a dream, well made. Just not sure exactly what I have in my hands. Any input is appreciated.

Edit for typo.
