    You sure that's not RC?

          Not all its cracked up to be lol! You've gotta' hang out at dance clubs and enjoy champagne all weekend, then you've gotta' play with RC boats all day during the week.
          Every now and then the weather is perfect and I don't know weather to run across the street and go surfing, take out my jet boat, shine around in my classic convertible, or play with rc boats lol!

          -Rough life..

          Here's a shot or two of the convertible.102_0628.jpg1130130815_01.jpg102_0623.jpg0202140312_01.jpg

            Bill,
            I like your taste in boats. Here is my money pit (besides the RC)

              Now you KNOW I like that boat! I think it would smoke mine actually. Is that a tunnel-jet? It looks like it has a Bismeyer style runner bottom.
              That thing is NICE and clean. I'm putting a supercharger on mine this winter.

              What speeds are you getting? I'm in the low 80's like 81-83 My bottom hasn't been done yet I suspect a bit of bunk rocker although the boat planes nicely.
              Is that a set back pump?

                I gotta ask, what do you do for money? That doesn't leave much time for a job.

                    Hey, Bill

                    The hull is a 95 Ultimate (tunnel) pump set back, The motor was made for that blower set-up. Top speed? I don't know, I don't have all the right safety crap, IE: kill switch, Jet-a-way ETC. Its fun but the Demon cabs are *!***!***!***!**. Should do over a 100 according to the Dyno, but I don't think I have had it there yet.

                    I have always liked your hull They are good-look'n ( the woman too) and their made to last, The bottom should be pretty straight, they layed them up pretty straight back then.
                    Where do you boat? Looks like the Lower river area. We always go out of Park Moabi. We'll have to meet up one trip and run the big boats and small ones.

                      Oh yeah? Here are some more lol! I've had some pretty ones on there.. I like that one you've to in your pics! These boats seem to attract bikinis, I guess that's why the're called "Hot-Boat' lol!
                      I boat in the San Juaquin Delta, but would love to camp at that river you mentioned. Indeed we'll have to load up the rc's and make a weekend of it.

                        Both your boats look great and it's good to see your safety conscious and have plenty of mobile airbags.

                          I'm just glad to know someone to boat with, especially one faster than mine lol!
                          I agree, they eat money like there's NO tomorrow, but fortunately they get to a point where its only 1,000 any time something goes wrong lol!

                          I can't lie. Every time I run that thing I tell myself its the best thing I ever purchased aside from my daughter's braces..
                          The fun I get out of that thing is ENDLESS. Days go by way too fast. I need to go camping with it so i can run it sun up to sun down days on end.

                          I just recently had installed a berkeley split bowl with an a/b aluminum impeller and a six inch 3degree droop. I'm gonna play with a different loader grate.
                          don't forget to pour a bottle of sat-bil in the tank for winter storage..

                            LMFAO! Safety first! i like to be on point. Not just because of inspections, I carry precious cargo. those that board the vessel are trusting their lives with the captain. air horn, vests for everyone, throwable flotation, fire extinguisher are all on board..
