Afternoon everyone I am looking for a jet boat for parker and lower river. Budget is around 25,000. 19ft to 23ft is what size I want. Something I can hammer down on when I am by myself but also a great cruiser when the wife and my 1 year old daughter is on. Show me what you got. Thanks to all who respond.

He didn't mention and open engine? But he is asking for it when saying a solid jet boat, kind of like some fool asking about a wakeboard section on the site! :oops:

Lol. It’s next to the turn signal how to FAQ

There is quit a few "smaller jets" with hatches. Or bench back seats to keep peeps away from the engine.

But my 205 is a great family cruiser and also a blast to drive when the time occurs..

A small child in an open engine jet boat doesn’t sound smart


My kids have been all over the river in my tunnel. Just make sure anyone with long hair understood what happens when it gets caught in a blower lol

I had actually looked a few Ultras before I bought my Carrera. Basically the same boat but in all honesty the Carrera seemed to be rigged and put together nicer than the Ultras. IMO

You just described my old boat. Super fun and powerful 502 21' commander jet. Engine hatch, clean interior, great colors, will cruze with family and do the aussie jet boat style turns when you want to have fun and get on it. I dont think the new owners got the hang of "steers with throttle". I could tell you who to contact for it if they still have it.

There's a nice Hot Rod listed that looks like fun and might fit your needs.
4 seat'er, Aluminum headed 588 ci Blown 19 foot Eliminator.
Sounds like it has some good hardware.
He wants 30'ish but hey...you never know until you drop an offer!!

23 jet and "hammer down" equates to a rapid drop in fuel and maybe 60 mph , but happy to see the interest

Well, are we talking a Sleekcraft Ambassador or a modern boat with a three foot molded swimstep?

A 21 foot boat does pretty good as a jet with the proper setup, but you know that. :D.

Damn, wouldn't mind having that one myself. I don't need it, I don't have room for it, but would like to have it just the same. What year is it?

I might part with this one for 25k. I restored it over the last couple years.

Come on guys...cut him some slack will ya?
Clearly this guy needs some guidance, so guide him.
My assessment of this young buck is...he needs some schooling and help getting
his young family on the water but still wants to hang on to his youth as long as he can.

Isn't that what all of us are trying to do here?

25K for a 19-23 JET should be easy for most of you SOB`s.

I have a 21 day cruiser that I use for the lower river and I wouldn’t even think about using it at Parker anymore. When I had my 25 Daytona, it got to the point where I felt it was too small for Parker on the weekends.

I would recommend a lot of freeboard! If you find a Hallett 210 jet, you should by it and not worry about the hammer down part. If your mostly going to be going to the lower river, than your options are endless.

I just got exposed to the whole outboard thing which I thought would never happen, but I’m about to pull the trigger on an outboard go fast boat. If you are open to outboards, and only go to Parker during the week, I would look at a 21/22 Daytona. Outboard or Jet, they sure a great way to go.

This checks the OPs list off pretty well.

Carreras hulls work very well and the open bow give the kiddo a bit more space.
