I bought me a new jet boat off craigslist sunday for $500. I am extremely pleased with my purchase. The trailer had just been redone and it has all aluminum decks. Here is it as I bought it:
The deck was just sitting in it, the PO said the person that had it before them had a fiberglass livewell and the supports broke. I scrounged around at the salvage yard and came up with awesome supports, a previously complete aluminum ladder or $5 worth of scrap aluminum:
A couple hours later and a few beers we had the braces built to suit me:
Once we got the floor bolted on it was really on there:
Tomorrow I might put some more bracing on the underside then its on to the transom to extend it for the jet.
