Ever worry about losing your prop on a rock or in shallow water? This boat is the result of that worry in myself as the lake I want to use it in has uncharted rocks and varying water levels. It's also the result of me having on hand a good ford 460 engine from a low mileage motor home and a jet drive from a Berkeley speed boat. The boat runs and drives but with two problems: the control cables from the original jet boat were not quite long enough for this boat so the turns are not well executed as they should be. They will have to be replaced. Also, the carbeurator was not working well. I bought a used one for it but never installed it (included with the boat). In the center of the boat I installed 3 - 25 gallon gas tanks (under the platform the chairs are on). I replaced the transom with 1 and a Half inch treated plywood. The engine is cooled by a marine heat exchanger. The gauges shown in the pictures are not hooked up. I built a platform for over the engine (not shown but included).
The interior of the cabin is in good shape and I replaced the glass with plexiglass. The toilet is functional. There is a windshield that attaches on top which I didnt use (see picture). The boat comes with a double axle trailer which is functional but nothing to write home about. The lights will need replacing but the tires are good. I've done my best to accurately describe the boat but it is being sold "as is".
