What is a bubble hull jet

[Blackmagic94]

what is difference vs a flat or is iT the same

 

[guest hs]

Take a look at Rogers or Advantage compared to an Eliminator Sprint you will see the difference in the deck

 

[HOOTER SLED-]

I believe the bubble is usually in reference to the deck over the helm.......ex...Hallett bubble...look like a bubble up front...lol
I dont think they are flat bottom hulls either...small v

 

[guest hs]

Sorry18-19 footers

 

[Rayson1971]

There are also some bubble deck flats. Sanger has one. I believe it's on the boat and watercraft section .

Sanger invented the bubble deck with their flat bottom.

Roger Weiman immediately splashed the bubble portion and grafted it to his 18 flat deck.

Yeah I should've bought him out instead of selling my half to him. Hindsight you know. Ps never go in on a boat with someone.

I believe many manufacturers had bubble decks. Named after the bulge right before the deck. There were runner bottoms and jets. Probably even OB.

A bubble "deck" jet will likely be a v-bottom and not a flat.

True. A “shallow” V.

Here is the Miller bubble.
It ain’t the best example, but you can see how it sort of slopes up forward if the dash. The dark area sticks up a bit above the forward deck.

How bout a Nordic

How bout a Nordic

If it's a bubble deck it will be a semi V jet. If it's a flat it will look like this.

Serious question here. Are these bubble boats? I know they're jets...I grabbed these pics out of my photo album. I took these out at Folsom in 1992-93. I used to run with the jet boat crowd until I realized they were gay.

 

[Sharp Shooter]

That's obviously you in the pink shorts. If those boats are gay, it's because of you.

Shasta is my old stomping grounds.
It’s only a 2 hour drag from where I’m at now.

It’s obviously a product of his insecurities involving his own sexuality.

Grads always had the best chance of getting laid.

Heads, hair pie, tails, balls across the nose. OH

Sweet 19' Hallett and 2' mullett....

 

[milkmoney]

I sold that boat for the reason. That gel was 36 years old and my OCD was so afraid to be the one to ruin it....

Believe me , I regret selling this boat more than anyone could know....I loved that boat ...[emoji41][emoji106]

I like the Rogers/Advantage Bubble deck the best, others have a notch where your arm would rest but the rogers has a smooth transition

I thought you said fat chicks ride in jet botes, I don't see any fat chicks.

 

[No Butt No Putt]

Bubble decks were typically 18’6”. Hallett , Eliminator, Crusader, Southwind and about 80% of the boats built in the 80’s were bubble decks. The white bubble just in front of the dash.

Then you had slant or slope decks. They were just under or at 18ft. Here’s my 81 Crusader.

Then you had T decks.

Me too, but I'm a little biased. I also like straight gunnel's more than notched.
