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)

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!
