Now that's pretty cool, good save!! That would been a real shame if it had been cut up and sent to the dump!! So was it actually made for a jet from the factory or was this someones failed attempt at converting from it from an I/O to a jet?? Could that hull handle a small V8 or would that just be overkill? I know they have some pretty potent jet ski motors now'a'day's, bet it would be a fun hull with a jet!! :thumb:
 
Ok, I had to get my 185 deck mold back up on wheels so I could move it out of the way first. Got that done, and off loaded the boat onto a cart today.

More pictures. Better ones later.

A few more pics from today.

One without so much glare.

The minimal interior wood.

And the bottom. If I fill in the jet hole, this would make a nice delta pad. But we'll see more of that when I flip it over.

Several weird bumps on the top, thought they might be blisters. Turns out they might be tree sap or something, they scrape right off.
