Toy Box is diversifying a bit...
 

Over the past couple weeks, I sold/traded, my Mini Hawk, 2 Yamaha PWC, 4 associated trailers; and an extra Mercury 40HP that I was saving for the Mini Hawk. I had to make some room...

I picked up this gem a few weeks ago:

And as of a few hours ago; this is now packed in there:

I have not put either one in the water yet, but the cat is now tentatively for sale.

"Downsizing" turned into "diversifying," huh? Lol.

Because its a jet, you should call the second one "Blowin' Green." :)

Maybe you should keep the toys and build a bigger garage

I like that actually. Maybe: "Blowin' Green Machine" even.

Nice looking, grew up with those river rat boats. Still like the old school jets and V drives.

Looks like you have a clean one. How fast? Any shots of the pump?

I expect it to run between 65 and 75.
It's a 468 4-bolt, 650cfm, mild cam, roller rockers, probably 450HP or so. I am changing a few plumbing items, and change from SS to aluminum impeller.
Drop snoot, scoop grate, pump preloader, bigger carb; already on the list after visiting our local jet boat "master" yesterday on the way home. (Tommy Moore)

As a kid I loved jet boats. My uncle and his friends all had them and I can still remember them blowing by our place on the river throwing huge rooster tails.

I have one quite similar in my toy box, 455olds, Berkley pump, diverter... I love that boat I've had it for about 20 years now. A good friend of mine bought when we were young and I took one look at that boat and said someday I would own it and then I would never sell it, so far I do, and I haven't. My son will inherit it when he sticks me in the nursing home... But that's a long way off. (I hope) :evilb:

Cool

The pics of the blue cat appear to be from the parking lot of bass pro shops in ashland. Correct me if I'm wrong. Both boats look great!
