I have this project posted elswhere on other forums as well thought I'd repost it here so the folks can follow along this is but one of dozens of "project jet boats", conversions and resto's Josh and I have in process or have done .......They have been around for years, the market seems to be hot and cold, a few folks have them tucked away or despite the fact they have a bigger fast boat would like to have one just for fun To me these little boats seem to invoke that "Kid with a go cart" most motorheads go thru as a preteen , post them up if yo got them , At JBP we've jumped into the fray with a Mini jet project , ours will be a 2 seater 4 cylinder Mercruiser, and our Junior Jet, finally cinched the deal on the hull last nite anxious to get started !

15'10" of practicle Mini Jet , part of the excercize as you might imagine is the development of the Junior drive, boat also nees to be big enough to avoid locking arms with the passenger always looking ahead as possible production and merchanability too !:greedy_dollars: Tommy

Good Question GFR , the motor is a essentially a stock MC 140 HP 3.0 production unit from a Bayliner with the exception of MSD wires and MSD coil the ignition is stock points type , the small Holley was modified by my son to hopefully work here and it will eventually get a small NOS shot for S's and G's Have little expirience with, part of the reason to run with this is to try to get some realistic "numbers" we can apply to the Junior 7000 to begin promotion of it Tommy

Jeff the Junior has its own unique intake , its smaller by about a 3rd and although a few parts will interchange from the full size jet most wont Tommy

Thanks for your interest , its been unseasonably busy (were happy about this) so we didn't make much progress till today heres some pics , I built a wire harness for the hull and the motor today, and we finished the mock up on the little jet and engine did some "body work" to patch the outboard "holes" should be ready for the wet test very soon Tom
BTW this thing has the cutest little Droop snoot ever made ...

Looks great Tom, curious though how come you didn't just use a plug instead of a junction block?, my OMC has a plug to separate the harness, be quicker to just pop the plug on disassembly I would think?..

Good question I'm "saver" we throw away very little ,we part out a few boats from time to time and alot of parts and pieces are gleened from that process , even bolts nuts washers and fittings etc. In keeping with the budget on this the entire wire harness for this mini came from a Southwind that had unrepairable hull damage and also The wire "block" is kind of traditional on jets A few boats like Miller actually used to rig with the plug you described Tom

Funny cause we have to constanlty resist the urge to Hot rod this boat and keep focused on the "mission" , Spent hours today with a customer today who's building 14' Alloy boats similar in size and HP , He was motivated and inspired by the NZ jet dinghy crowd who have taken these little boats to a different level

Always one of the high points in Joshs and my endeavors is when we get to the "cosmetics" typically we expiriment a bit to determine IF a project hull is "recoverable" with Color sand and buff then wait till the end to do that work, Today was amazingly rewarding , we went from a "scrub, to 800 to 1000 and then to 1500 now we"ll compound , polish buff and wax , more pics to come

So awesome. That thing has to be a BLAST to drive and ride in! When's the video going to be ready? :D
How'd it go?

This I know , we thought of this as a kind of "toy" but its not,have built and rigged hundreds of boats with much more HP and lots more $$ ,but never been more satisfied , my son is an artist. This little boat runs very respectable handles like a sports car and sips fuel,had a minor heating incident but otherwize never turned a wrench on it today, going back tommorow for what we hope is some more T&T best pass today was just shy of 50 and we know it has more still trying to edit/link my videos but heres a quick clip Let it buffer)

Thanks you to you and all who have followed this thread , This was very rewarding on so many levels , we dont sell or use or promote what we wouldn't or or havent used ourselves , so this wet testing is vital. The recreational hot rod boating is slower this time of year as most know and my son (who basically did the majority of rigging and building ) and I had two back to back enjoyable days to test and drive (along with Tacos and Beers) and truly enjoy this project and some "hang out" time thats seldom avaialble to us given our busy schedule More Videos to follow and some hardware changes to chase that 50 mph mark were predicting ...
