Time for new guesses, new location. Good memories. Interesting spot!

Hi Bob, you'll enjoy working with Luke. He's a standup guy, and he doesn't care what kind of boat you have. You can drop my name if you wish, I bought a lot of parts from him when I was building my boat and continue to go there for my support. All the parts that fit my Phantom or yours for a...

Here's a couple more.This one is taken from my previous jet sled, my old Lowe 2048 w/ Johnson 90 Jet. Lots of memories in that old monster, great boat. So, where's the Sportjon and the Lowe?

OK I'll play. OK I'll play. Well, some excursion pics from 'round here & elsewhere. Not Wooly but a capable boat, lets see....Pardon, but my ignorance or lack of memory prevents me from posting full size pics. Instructions again and I promise I'll write it down this time. Great thread T.

Answer me this Answer me this Hi Bob, glad you tracked down your problem, now let me toss this out. For those of you that were at the gathering, perhaps you got a look at the business end of my boat, but most maybe not. The question for all is this: If the rubber hoses you had on your boat...

Too Much Fun! Too Much Fun! Wow! Guys n Gals, what a weekend! Sorry I havn't responded before this but I just got back in off the river with the family :), but someone had to do it. 8 of us, 3 dogs and gear, blew through Fairbanks upon returning from Susitna, grabbed everyone and we were back...

Couple more.

Very cool jetboat update Very cool jetboat update For all that are still interested and you new boat nuts that missed this thread.... Stopped by Freds tonight and checked out the progress. Not a huge amount to report but he's poised to put the cherry picker on the Honda Motor and shoehorn it...

Not trying to get under your skin (much), late winter will do this to a guy. Some R&R during Spring Break was a welcome thing, and anywhere there's soft water, boats and warmth can't be bad! Twas a hoot. Oz Oh yeah, I'm the handsome devil in the middle. The finned featurettes are Yellowtail (all...

One more pic of the transom to finish off the set, that's all I've got.

Here's one I ran into at the Tangle Lakes off the Denali Highway, late fall just before freeze-up. He was pushing it hard, dragging a canoe full of moose meat behind him going up-lake from the Delta River headed for the landing. It's a unique piece, homebuilt, very portable, pretty spunky...

Sobie, see attached, it's a V-TEC. Tell me more if you care to share about the differences and other tidbits. AKDoug, Yes, plenty of pump, it's rated for up to 300 HP. I'm guessing now, but am thinking that's with the SkatTrak mods to the pump. This project may not be water ready by spring...

That's all I have That's all I have For those that are unfamiliar with hot boats, the pic on the left is the ride plate. I'm not really really conversant with this type of hull construction either, a lot I've picked up from Fred. Anyway, the ride plate is pretty much all the boat is running on...

Adding a couple more Adding a couple more The pointy end had to be finished with something to close it up and this is what Fred came up with. The driveshaft fairing I spoke of that fairs in the shaft-to-intake clearance. It will be riveted in place when the time comes.

OK, note the intake "casting" that's bolted to the transom that supports the liner/stator/outlet nozzle. Next pic will show it in better detail and I'll explain more. The view inside the intake is the inside of that "casting" as well. Note the gap where the driveshaft enters the intake. Next...

And moreHere's the business end from both sides of the transom. The drive coupling is standard Yamaha Waverunner stuff, the view up the tailpipe shows the Skattrak Magnum guts.

More pics More pics It was late when I posted or I would have given you more, this engine has possibilities. Power to weight is good. Some help here too please. Is there any way to post more than two pictures or am I stuck with this?

Okay guys, I know you are chomping for soft water. It's been a long winter and I figured everyone could use a diversion from the ordinary. Headed over to my friend Freds place today to get some pictures of this thing. It's been a work in progress for the last two winters (and summers too) but he...

Gotta do this too Gotta do this too Spend a fair amount of time up the Salcha and as many other interior rivers as I have time for, but take her to PWS and other destinations as well. New country always works for me. Had to get the Granddaughter in there with her first Irish Lord. Bluebird day...

Your request for a pic Your request for a pic Still a couple of the best ones I have. I'm working on an album, it's slow. Or is it me?:confused:I find I have a lot of pics from inside the boat but not from the outside. I shall have to remedy that.
