Tahiti "on the rocks"

[jetboatperformance]

Finished a nice rebuild on this boat a few weeks back , the customer was excited and dumped it in the water that nite , but some how put it on the rocks , this will be an "unusual project" instead of switching out hard ware we'll be switchin' boats ... Tom

So your taking hardware out of one and dumping it into a new hull?

The Customer scored/bought a very nice 18 Eliminator Bubbledeck (no motor) from Quickjet (delivered week before last) Once we paint the motor and add some bling it'll be back in the drink" I affectionately have named the new boat "On the rocks"

I'm almost afraid to ask... how bad is it under the duct tape?

Im afraid to cut the duct tape to look for fear it (the hull) will fall apart before I can get it to the land fill , what ever he hit it was pretty brutal , He called me about 8;30 the nite he picked up the boat and said "good news and bad news , good news is the motor ran bitchen....."

Ouch... I kind of figured it was like that

"On the Rocks" same name as Froggy gives to all his personal boats..

He had a similar experience to your customers, except it was his dad's boat when he was a kid.. LOL

Bob Bondurant school of driving said " Never brake, lift or shift in a turn" same applys to a jet boat ,your probably right
