The best advice: it's a 10-year-old jetboat. Walk away from it as fast
as possible. It's worthless.

Of course. I plan to hang on to my fifty year old jetboat. A
turbocraft with a Buick engine.

Your go fast jetboat has about as much in common with this sea dodo as
my runabout does.

*You flatter it with go fast. 35 or so. It started with a Graymarine
flathead inline six and turned 3300 RPM. We marinized a Buick V-6 and
got 3700 RPM. Early jet drives were inefficient. A slow 16 ft
runabout. Fast enough for a five by four lake [Spirit Lake in Iowa].
Pulls waterskiers just fine. Ours is SN#10. A 58 I think. Three like
it were the first boats to go up a long stretch of the Colorado River.

If you're only able to 3,700 rpm then you have to little engine on too
big a jet drive. Why don't you try a small block.

It is true enough that the pump is too big for the engine. However,
even as it is, nothing on the lake is as much as ten minutes away.
It is a license built copy of a Hamilton [New Zealand]. I think it is
a version of Hamilton's smallest pump.
