Saves Chris the server trouble and when the boat sells or when you wish, I can just take em down.

Hey LEEDO... Yes, I just sold my Checkmate Spectra 170BR (was a nice boat but a bit too small for where I boat). I still have a few more water toys to "play" with...

1947 Chris Craft 22' Sportsman ("classic woody") also for sale...
1994 Dynasty SportJet
1990 Sonic w/Twin 2.5L's (for sale)
1992 Hobie Cat 16'
1988 Sunfish
2000 Sea-doo GTI's (2)
1995 Sea-doo HX
AND "ALWAYS LOOKING" for the next toy!!!

JUPITER PULSAIR... THANKS MAN, I LOVE THAT ONE!!! You brightened my day for sure... Too bad I would only be left with a roll of duct tape and a card-board boat (maybe some bayliner stickers to decorate it)!!!

ZO6... Photos coming soon (when I get time or someone seriously interested)...

This Sonic is a FUN TOY to play with for sure, but again, I quote my wife "Isn't it time you get a family friendly performance boat"... Just remember those words when a 21' Pulsair with a 300X is in the garage!!!

How about a 1985 Corvette with only 51000 miles.

 

[jrumon]

Thanks for the offer...if it was a 1990 & newer I go for it...those 73-89 Vette's are just too hard to sell when the time comes...

But thanks anyway, Jim.

 

[cooperider]

You got that right. Just sold my 89 vette last month. The 85 is next. Thanks for thinkin about it.

Jim,Have you got the sonic up and running yet?Curious about your top speed and so forth.Let us know the progress on this unwanted water rocket!I know,when the boss says it must go,its GOTTA GO!I had to bring my mate home against the wifes will,she wanted a new 5th wheel.Well needless to say we have our old trailer and a new Starflight!As I always say,she will get over it.

 

[jrumon]

Just got back from opening up my cottage... 4 days of ALL WORK and NO PLAY make me READY to do some time on this Sonic!!!

I need a speed fix bad! Starting the hull detailing this week... Just waiting on a few parts to finish up the motors.

Next weekend is shot (AGAIN), but aiming for June 11th for the "blast-off" date...

 

[JUPITER PULSARE]

JRUMON, KEEP US POSTED ON THE SONIC ROCKET PROGRESS. DEFINITLY SOUNDS LIKE AN INTERESTING TOY...BY THE WAY, DON'T WEAR ANY BAGGY CLOTHING, YOU MIGHT BLOW OUT THE BACK OF THE BOAT!!!

 

[jrumon]

Not a problem... but

NO WINDSHIELD = BUGS IN TEETH!!!

Still waiting for my lower units to be resealed and checked out...I hate waiting!!!

 

[mystery dad]

Jim,
I emailed and called about seeing the boat. Don't want to be a nuisance, I'm just jonesing for a new boat and this one seems to be right up my alley.

Cheers,
patrick

Hey, i might trade you for my 85 enchanter...

 

[fnshrmaster]

Does this thing run yet jim?Speeds?Or did it sell before it was run?

 

[jrumon]

I've been out of the state for the past week+, and haven't had much time to wrench on it yet. I had to go fetch my two CLE lowers (guy never got them done yet either...I was having them inspected, set-up to specs, and resealed)...

I found someone else to do it next week...and while I'm at it, the starboard 2.5L powerhead had a little lower compression on a few holes than I liked (leakdown indicated bad rings)... I pulled the heads and the cylinder walls looked excellent so that powerhead is getting redone (honed/pistons/rings/etc.) to make it 100% also... I want everything to be right!!!

Probably won't be water ready until July 10th or so...But I have vacation time to burn so it should be SOON.... I'll keep you posted! Jim

 

[Z06]

Jim sent me some pictures to post of his boat. Here they are. I must add cool boat!!!!!!!!!1

 

[JUPITER PULSARE]

THAT IS ONE BAD-ASS LOOKING TOY!!

WISH IT WAS IN MY COLLECTION!!

 

[jrumon]

STILL "AVAILABLE"...

If you want some attention... this boat is it!!

All the motor mods were done, everything gone thru, freshed up and built right (solid mounts, velocity stacks, WH39 carbs, relieved midsections (drilled like factory 280 sport), exhaust can removed, flow ported exhaust adapter and tuner, modified cooling, 33cc performance heads, etc.). Motors run AWESOME!!!

HOW FAST??? I don't know yet... Spent a few hours of break-in at a local lake dialing everything in... 45mph speed limit and a sheriff that was ready to write a ticket so I kept it cool...all I can say is this things a BEAST!!!

I hope to get more seat time on the "big lake" this weekend (no speed limit) to dial it in, air it out, and post some GPS numbers... Jim.

 

[fnshrmaster]

Is the sonic still for sale?What kind of trade are you looking for?Let me guess,a pulsair bowrider?Thats what everybody seems to want these days.The closed bow looks nice but sure isnt very practical.Whats the selling price?

 

[jrumon]

YES... SONIC is together and running awesome...motor mods ALL done, lower units done, running great and sounds KILLER!!! Top speed is yet to be determined...getting 90+ on GPS (not wide open) buts carbs are jetted rich right now and I'm running about 45:1 premix oil ratio to be safe. It's hard for me to get the water conditions for a safe top end on Lake Huron and I really should put some EGT's on the motors to fine tune them before I put the hammer all the way down!!!

CASH OR TRADES??? Wife wants it G-O-N-E!!!!!!
$13,900 in Boat Trader... $13,000 cash takes?

 

[jrumon]

TOP SPPED = 102.1MPH on GPS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Finally got some hours on the boat... water conditions were A-1 all weekend so I played and played, and got some GPS numbers...

60MPH cruise speed @ 4000 RPM...
96MPH with 4 adults @ 1/2 tanks of fuel...
100.9MPH with 2 adults...
102.1MPH with just me!!!

For all you techno's, thats 7000+RPM swinging a set of 31P "Lab" clevers, boat is supprisingly stable on the pad at speed... anyone have a set of 32's to try??? Jim.

So do I sell, trade, or drive my wife nuts???

 

[fnshrmaster]

Drive the wife nuts!
