Well I could not pass up this little piece of Jet boat history when I saw it for sale in Sac last month. Was pretty rough but I'm a sucker for a challenge , so step one clean up and remediation of the basic hull

Where are you supposed to find 150lb people? I haven't been in the 150's since before I graduated High School

Some progress on my Schiada Jet boat from this week

 

[jetboatperformance]

Thought You folks might enjoy the latest in the 68 Schiada resto , although not "period correct" I would say more of an Old School/modern "fusion" deal

Got the title from my brother today and found out that what I previously stated as a 65 is in fact a 1970. Just washed her out today and will get picks up hopefully tomorrow.
