Thanks, all opinions are appreciated. It sounds like you're in the same place as many of us. I have a 64 Grand Prix mostly done, so between car shows going to the lake and working to keep all of this crap running there isn't a lot of time and money left. Also, my number one diversion an eight...

Sorry, I thought everyone knew early 70's Jets were almost always 455 Olds. It's always been dependable and fast enough for a family ski boat, which was it's primary purpose. On a good day it will do about 55. All but one of my waterlice will out run it, but I can blow obnoxious waterlice riders...

Ok inmates I'm for a little help here. I'm looking for serious input , although I expect to get some that may be less than serious. I have this 1975 Schiada 19 foot Jetboat. The hull was built as a V drive back in 75 I guess, whenever they built 1975 boats. Cars are like a year earlier is why...

Oh well, it's not the end of the world. That'll be Wednesday! I didn't join the website for G&A but it was one of the perks. Kind of like the good morning inmates posts, or the facebook posts. It was interesting to hear from the Californians who are more fucked than us Washganastanians, but...

@RiverDave So based on the criteria of previous posts, a new member has two chances of getting access. Slim and none, I'm far from slim so I'm leaning toward none. It's a little difficult to get posts with no access. Thanks for any consideration.

Yup, that looks like the two that I'm going to sell. Although, my trailer isn't as nice. I bought it used and the previous owner put some butt ugly fenders on it, he had visions of running bigger wheels and tires. We have 4 others all DI's except a 2000 GTX carbureted. We call it the Sea couch...

That's the one Cobalt, we have two, a carbureted 2000 and a 2003 DI. I think my buddy is down to 3, two with carbs and a DI. You're right on with the wet boarding, the other issue is when sitting still and not paying attention a large wave will have you swimming and trying to board it in the...

Yes you're right, there is also an aftermarket fuel pump only option. I think that the last one that I bought was $75. You still have to remove the pump assembly and then swap the little pump itself. I have installed both types in my watercraft as well as friends. I recently read a blog...

I'm located (for now) in Spokane Washington aka Spokompton Washganastan. We have the only Governor that my be dumber than Biden.:mad:

Fast is right they fail often. My experience has been anywhere between 75 and 100 hours. This has been confirmed by my tech over in Seattle who does them all of the time. The really bad news is Sea Doo only sells the pump assembly. The cost is around $900.00 and it doesn't include the gauge...

I know I'm a newbie, or in my case a geezerbie, but if possible I would like access to the G & A forum. I already have a couple of safes full of the stuff so not looking to buy, and I'm sure as hell not going to sell anything. I enjoyed the forum when I was a lurker and might be able to add my...

Thanks, Ziggy! Currently my grandson's favorite lake activity is fishing off of our pontoon boat. He also likes to tube off of it also. I think his interest was that he's seen more tubers riding behind conventional boats than pontoons. However, after riding in the Schiada he hasn't asked to go...

That's high praise coming from you lenmann! I've admired and been amazed at the work you've been doing for the past year. Obviously I can't take any credit for the hull, other than being lucky enough to buy it 26 years ago. There really isn't much of a 3.0 thread to look at and nothing all that...

Just my luck, I decide to join the group and they delete my category. That's ok I fit in a couple of others. I know you guys are always asking for pictures so I chose one that was most appropriate for my avatar. It also is the reason for the name. The picture was taken last March just before the...
