LOL you guys are out to lunch :grin_nod:. Its open headers. Its loud as shit the video doesn't really do it any justice. It's more of a river/lake boat. It seems to me if you were to take it out in rough waters you'd get swamped easily.

Sweet toy!

Nice score on the boat 

I do a ton of work on Jet boats, and actually will be working on a 18' Wriedt later today 

But there's a few things first.... with jet boats don't EVER start the boat when there's no water in the pump. There are tight wear ring to impeller clearances, that can get damaged when started dry.

And I didn't see any headers, got any pics of the motor?

On the suction housing of the pump, inside the boat there is a metal tag, what does it say? Hopefully it is a large impeller.

I say that because Oldsmobiles are notorious for high RPM failures, one would usually want to keep the RPM
s lower than 4000 Rpm, they have oiling troubles and will cause seizures pretty fast if held at WOT for over 10 seconds.

please, GERD, tell me you are kidding!

Wreak:

–verb (used with object)
1. to inflict or execute (punishment, vengeance, etc.): They wreaked havoc on the enemy. 
2. to carry out the promptings of (one's rage, ill humor, will, desire, etc.), as on a victim or object: He wreaked his anger on the office staff. 

derailment over...but you cannot argue with me on grammar.

Im glad someone knows something about these boats cause i really don't. It dosen't have longtube headers that come out the back, it looks more like a turbo log manifold to me  The motor has about 19hrs on a fresh bottom to top rebuild. I have all the receipts.

I took it out breifly this afternoon to get some practice with it before anyone rides in it with me. It's definitely a handful. If you don't have it trimmed just right it like to wobble back and forth so that took some getting used to. Also, there is NO steering whatsoever unless you have gas applied which I already knew but it still scared me a few times. I got it up to about 70mph with my gps and it had some more left so I think it may top out around 80 or maybe more but I didn't have enough running room to open it up completely. The motor ran really good and stayed cool even when just putting around. It does drink plenty of fuel though.

What do you recommend as far as maintaining it to keep it running as good as it did today?
