Yup got one, 1980 19ft Miller mini crusier, injected 350small block, I/O 7 shades of blue on white, hits 60mph according to GPS :blink: I just bought this boat and am in the process of redoing the interior, Its gonna be sic! I bought 4 sweet buckets and am picking up some carpet and other materials soon :thumb: Ive also been messing around with the motor a bit, mostly just dress up, I built a pretty sweet air scoop out of sheet metal, tig welded it up, swirl polished it and cleared it, It made the low profile of the boat look wicked, with this scoop sticking out!
Lets go hit the lake up sometime, Ill proly be ready to out in about 2-3 months & live like 3 minutes from a lake :p

Saweet. My interior needs to be redone. I hate doing that crap but it needs it. I am in the middle of reinstalling the stereo. Around 1000 watts, 2 amps one Zapco to drive 4 infinity kappa 6.5"s and one MTX 225 HO with 1 farad cap to drive the 2 JL 12"s under the deck. Pretty damn loud. Too loud at times. Was thinking of getting a bigger boat to make cruisin more fun. The small fast boat is fun but gets to be a hassle.

Where'd you find the buckets and for how much?

Bought the seats from, sportsman guide online :2thumbs:

These belong to the Wife's parents - he bought the Scarab so we could shuttle to and from the Bluewater. They spend lots of time on the big one and we can only go for 3 or 4 days at a time.

We took both pictures - I like driving the big one. I feel like Rodney in Caddy Shack - Move Over Swanson!!!

I have a 1970 Wreidt 19ft jet drive with a 455olds
It has new paint new upholstry and the engine was rebuilt but has a rattle on No 7 cylinder.
I think I am going to pull the engine out and have Scott take a look at it but otherwise I should have it ready for some SPEED.

FUCKIN A! NorCal Boat Club in the summer! I love it! On the river!

guess I'm not sellin my Tahiti now.

The best I've gotten out of my boat is around 67mph. I need to have the pump rebuilt and add a place diverter. So much $$$ for that though.

i blew up my boat last summer was going to get another but my dad told me just to use his, 22 foot scarab offshore low on fuel with two people and the chopper prop will hit 68, cruzes nice3 at 45 mph all day, but i like my jet ski's better i have three, 89 650sx modded out 47mph on gps, 90 x-2 havent ridden it much and 79 440 project it's getting a pumped up 650 motor 550 ported pump and some hull mods

[CaptainInsano]

blew mine and rebuilt it. Now it can SUSTAIN 5200 rpm for 1/4 mile and not blow up. Not bad for an Olds. not exactly meant for those rpms.

Really would like a bigger boat though. Now I got the rig to tow one too. :beer:

I've hit 85 MPH in mine on a calm day on the lake up here in Folsom.
:flipoff2:
My boat is the first model that broke the 100MPH barrier for a jet drive boat, I have the same setup but I am not crazy. :flipoff2:

Dude that is pretty good for a jet, you must have some money in that. What impeller / pump you run? Rpms?

[Shaggy]

Yeah, I've got an 18 foot '82 Marlin with a 115 HP Mercury outboard on it. It's wicked fast, yo. :blink: OK, so at least it's cheap. :uh oh: I dig fast boats but it's another expensive hobby that I can't afford.

[CaptainInsano]

I've always said boats are like pussy, some is better than none...unless the bilge smells.

[Shaggy]

Mine might be old, but she's in great shape. :flipoff2:

Yeh I have a 96 18ft searay with a 4 cylinder 135hp. The good thing is that a tank of gas will last for a couple days! We oughta find a lake near a wheeling place and make it a big party.
