So after some long nights, days ect, pops and me finally was able to splash the beast.. And man what a handfull this thing is.. Just was making some shake downs, motor is still fresh fresh, so didn't want to twist it to hard.. Ran it up to about 4100 ish, it doesn't even labor.. Next time out going to lay the hammer down.. Only small issues was popped a coolant line off, but easy fix.. All the hard work, time paid off.. Boat gave me the shakes lol.. Should be in the mid 80s no problem.. For guys that havnt seen this build I will link my previous thread to it.. Shout out to Pat Hayes for dreaming up something that only sick people would do lol, thankfully some sick one bought it.. It was his vision, when we got it.. Just a bare hull that had new wood/stringers, a jet pump housing installed. Have to give him credit, as he started this Frankenstein.. So happy Pops and me were able to bring it to life.. So many things we had to make, virtually everything from brackets to braces to fittings, you name it.. As far as I know this is the only MX13 jet boat out there today.. More to come.. Just a few vids.. Nothing crazy, but This thing can jump rope if I want it to LMAO..

Thanks guys.. Getting to some fine tuning.. possibly changing the ride plate angle, carb adjustments ect.. Other then that it has ran well.. Once i get some other things done, a little more seat time, its going to get the legs stretched.. LOL

How many bilge pumps?:surf:
Click to expand...


None right now but making a plate and all so i can add a pump.. either that or mounting a electric fuel pump on the rail and lay a hose off in the bilge to pump out water.. Also in the process of making a pro stock style spoiler that will work like a splash guard.. Those vids were literally with under a hour on the boat lol.. Still feeling it out.. Hopefully have some more vids this week end because I want to raise a little hell HAHAHA :bounce:
