One of the first boats my Wife Rhonda and I owned was a New 18' Miller Bubble Deck Jet, bought in Summer of '76 at R&R Sports in Paso Robles Millers Jets were not only "local" to us (made in Santa Maria) but were very popular in the Jet Boat "Heydays" of the 70's . We sold our boat after a couple years with our first child on the way and wanting to buy "Horse Property" , And Then almost 30 years the Miller reappeared to us one day coming into JBP for jet work , We were "nuts" about seeing it after all that time and bought it back , restored it and then resold it (pics are me at 25 and later son Josh in the resto .....

Fast forward After some negotiations with an old friend We have aquired yet another near identical 76 Miller for a "customer build to suit" Please follow along .. Tom

Not a very cool first post, so I'll reserve my welcome for now.

Hopefully you're just having a bad morning.

i'm sorry mod....just would like to see more "jet gurus" come on board and post, get insight, etc. etc..., just not one who tends to "saturate" everywhere there are jets boards involved and "steer" everything his way. Would make for a more "positive" atomsphere in my opinion. just want to clarify, thanks.

It was pretty positive until you showed up. You have a way of taking everything to a negative in a hurry!

This person is not having a bad morning. He is a troll that is a cancer to every boating site he is allowed to stay on.

His company is CMB enterprises in Syracuse NY. He sends very nasty PM's to Hotboat members. Right now he has been sending nasty PM's to John Rork via Hotboat For whatever reason he targets other's in the same line of business and uses the most unethical means of trying to discredit them. All under an alias. Wendy do the site a favor and ban him.

His real name is Thad Kempisty. This is his FB page https://www.facebook.com/thad.kempisty

I have ordered a couple items from Jet Boat performance last year.
Very helpful over the phone and knew what I was referring to even when I didn't know what I was referring to.
I had a good experience doing business with them.

They knew what I was referring to in regards to parts when I didnt even know what I was referring to.
I had a good experience with them and would do business again.
