Just seeing if anybody here is interested or know of anybody interested in purchasing a jet boat.
it's a 1978 tahiti jet boat with a ford 429. I was told that it is a cobra jet, but I'm not positibe on that. I started to completely go through the entire boat but ended up loosing interest so I must sell it now. I rewired the front half and installed new autometer ultralite gauges, re carpeted the front half with black carpet, new erson 1.73 aluminum roller rockers, comp guide plates and new pushrods, new starter, and optima blue top marine battery, bilge pump and buffed it out. It still needs some tinkering with to get it into tip top shape, but overall it's a pretty nice boat. It has a weiand tunnel ram with 2 predator carbs, chrome over transum basset racing headers, and an accell super coil. The exterior is in ok shape, the front has stress cracks from flexing over the years and it is faded in some spots but not really bad, I buffed it and it shines pretty good. The rear section of carpet needs to be installed still, and the driver side gas tank has a small hole in it. I didn't get around to installing the fuel level sending units either, but I still have them, also, it needs a new alternator belt since it threw the other one cause it wansn't tightened correctly. As with all Jet boats...it does need some work, but it is a really good boat to start with. I have only taken it out once(mainly to make sure it floats) and it doesn't leak. the boat does not have current registration, but the trailer does, but it is registerd in nevada right now. I am in the middle of transferring into california and making it legal, and will do so before selling. I'm asking $4,500 obo?

I can vouch for this boat. Great boat in great condition. Justin's put quite a bit of time and money into getting this thing nice, and it shows.

Anyone looking for a nice jet boat should without question check this out.
