        Jetboatinside.jpg 1313845469.jpg I know it does not look like much but we have done a LOT of work to get her where she is today. Yes, I cruised it all summer long with no interior and busted paint. Working on that right now. Also planning on a turbocharged LSX motor maybe next year. Everyone needs a jet boat!

          Hey, I could have a great time on that thing. Seats would definitely help lol! but that thing definitely would serve the purpose..
          I like th "james Bond' look of it. You could make a great pleasure boat out of her..

            Oh yea we still had fun on it and hot chicks had no problem jumping on board! I built the seats and put them in but they were not covered. Once I got it running I kept taking it out on the water instead of working on it! And yes, I LOVE the look of it! I can't wait to finish up the cosmetics this winter!

              that's the spirit! Plenty of running condition jet-boats out there for 1,500 or less!
              Plenty of fun. May not be the shiniest thing on the lake but it feels good to cruise on the water even on an inner tube lol!

                Any boat is better than no boat! Whatever it takes to get you to "Party Cove"! What have you guys had yours up to? The mild 460 pushes mine to mid 50s. I am ready for some LSX power!!!

                  1500? i could get me one of those if I saved up and gave up my Bday and Xmas presents for a year. can someone link me to one that is reasonably good? most of the words you're posting make me feel dyslexic.

                      Just picked this up last week. Another jet boat!!! It's an '84 Cimmaron 16' with a healthy 383 SBC. Also has a nice Place Dirverter and loader that I am going to put on my Taylor later on. It will be a fun boat to cruise this summer while I am working on my SS!

                          Bill....... What happens if your Eliminator has to be down for a few weeks? Just going to be a "land lover"??? No! You need a backup plan! More jet boats=more better! Now is also the time to pick up boats on the cheap! I dig the Cimmaron but I like my Taylor waaay better. Yes, it is mostly original and in VERY good shape. Got her fired up a few days ago and the 383 sounds NASTY! I'm not scared to cruise it next year, and I can also rob the dirverter and loader for my Taylor if I sell it.
