[QUOTE="PSG-1, post: 338704, member: 6937"] That's EXACTLY what I was referring to, gotasquirt! (And BTW, I really, really, like that little 10' jetboat of yours, this is what I want to build for my next jetboat.) As for building a jet john, anybody can slap some parts together and make something run for an hour or two. But the REAL test is the test of time. How many of these boats are still running 2 or 3 years later? I know there's several of us on this board who have built jet johns that have stood the test of time, such as you, Ranchero, Scubapro, Painlesstom, and myself. And if you look through some of our threads, we've all had our own issues with trial and error, finding out what works and what doesn't. You only gain that through experience and testing. So, some shadetree goober that has never built one, that says they can do it for a case of beer and some cigs for labor costs, be my guest LMFAO!! If I see 'em broke down, I'll give them a tow back to the hill with my jetboat...on plane (I have done this before with towing, particularly across shallow areas, my boat has enough power to do it, too) [/QUOTE]
