Lotta work there. Big winter project for someone. Bet he would take $400.

talked via text message today and he says his bottom dollar is 750 as it sits or 400 minus motor.

It would be a lot of work but I love those old JetMate IIs! Looks like all the major components are still there. It seems like the hatches come up missing or modified on these boats. To bad it wasn't closer to NC.

I wish I had the cash. maybe I need to start a "nathan needs a checkmate charity".

While it could be a neat project, that's an awful expensive boat...

 

[nathan]

well I tried to get this one but no dice the guy sold it yesterday!

 

[redstrat]

Hang in there, you'll find one in good time

I bought this old boat, 5 hour drive from home, this is my first jetboat, It really looks alot worse than it is, I think it's going to come together really well when i start on it I will post some pics when she gets done

I am glad to hear someone picked it up that is going to do good with it. the guy in austin said to me one time that if he did not sell it for what he wanted he would just take the motor out and cut the boat up. start a resto thread and good luck. I hope it is better shape than in the pictures.

Yea, post some pics as you restore it, start to finish. That's what we do on this sight.

I ended of giving him 650.00 for it, which i suppose is not to bad,needs a little glass work done to it, I've been wanting a jet boat for a long time so I decided to go ahead and take the plunge its a whole diiferent world for me I'm sure I will have to ask you guys alot of questions,Hope ya'll don't mind

I figured that if someone showed up with cash he would budge. good luck!
