    Paint for boat name

    I'm looking to stencil and paint on the name of my jet jon. Not sure if I need to use special paint or if anything will do. Has anyone done this? I figured it would be cooler than just having graphics made. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Rivet fixing

    So after finally getting my jet Jon running and performing good, the rivets aren't holding up to the abuse. I have been thru bolting them with 3m 5200. Is this the best way to go about fixing leaky rivets for good? There seems to be no discussion about this when looking over build threads for...

    Looking at my first project

    So I'm thinking about building a jet Jon this winter and I have a few questions. My buddy has a bunch of empty Kawasaki jet ski hulls that he wants to get rid of so I'm gonna snag one of those. I'm thinking a 144 pump with a 750 engine would be my motor of choice. I would like to do an 1100 but...
