4-5K?

Might find an old Hydrostream for that amount.... That's not much of a budget though.

True its not but i bought a 222 stinger for 6.5K with a fresh 454 2 years ago so i was guessing 4-5 would be ok. I mean he can fix anything it needs, paint, refresh engine, and so on.

The old hydrostream is the answer...or a small Scarab jetboat...or put all the money into the motor and mount it on an aluminum jetboat. A small Boston Whaler jetboat can be bought for that and not lose money when you sell...but it's not fast....$4-5K doesn't really buy fast and reliable too often.
