[QUOTE="Ironhorse2022, post: 492885, member: 31989"] Thanks Jeff. That’s a cool looking boat - I’ve always been interested in jet boats. What engine were you running ? It would be cool to drop an electric motor in it if the battery tech was available/affordable. Silent running except for water. While l lean towards the original look, I’m fine making exceptions where it involves mechanical or safety benefits. I plan to replace the original 70 yr old pulleys because despite looking fine, plastic does age and become more brittle. I don’t really like the look of the after market replacements and even the NOS pulleys I’ve seen occasionally on eBay are still old. Metal pulleys would be perfect, especially if they are shrouded. I’ll start looking for some of those. Thanks. [/QUOTE]
