    Another jet jon build...

    yep....that is the surprise of a build, how its gonna ride, handle etc..., mine is the same way , it planes instantly with zero bow rise at all on take off. taking off up river on a schoal in a ft or less water is no problem, but it suffers top end (which i don't need). look into adjusting your...

    anyone know how to quiet a two stroke.

    my exhaust comes out of side of the hull, underwater when sitting still. when the water box fills up with water from the pump it quiets down a little, but the main thing that cut the noise in half was the insulation of the water box, pipe and engine comp. with fiberglass foil insulation used in...

    Is this safe?

    Im assuming your boat is outboard motor, so that lessens the chance of spark in the compartment except them battery posts, if that compartment is pretty air tight, id put two exit vents in the back corners and a scoop vent above the gas cap. And always open the deck lid before you launch and...

    Is this safe?

They are mostly used in inboard...

    picked up a jet jon project

    that is a very good idea psg-1, my motor does have a flush kit on it where i use to ride the ski in the ocean. but i think its a good idea to blow the water out every use to minumize calcium deposits in the water jacket. i remember people reving the hell outta their motors at the boat ramp...

    picked up a jet jon project

    i dont know anything about tigersharks, mines a kawi 650, but i dont recommend dual carbs. a mikuni 44mm or 45mm sbn carb will be plenty. you can go to pwctoday forum and get more info on tigersharks. as for insulating engine covers and exhaust pipes/waterbox, it makes day and night difference...

    Jet boats seem to be the Rage....?

    i think he was meaning running a chute..aka channel, ive been there done that with a prop...youll spin out few props and then your lowerend gumball gears goes out. there must not be much jet boaters in your area...trust me ,if a prop goes thru a chute at 2 mph a jet will fly by at full speed...
