    New guy with jet boat

    Hey guys just wanted to introduce myself. Im a new owner of a 1980 mantra jet boat it has a 454 bbc in with berkely pump.
    Little history,
    The boat used to race against my Dad back in the early 90s, in lake class. They became great friends and helped each wrench on their boats. Long story short my Dads friend wanted to sell it, so my grandfather bought it. He ran it for a year or so then it would just sit on the boat lift. The boat sat for a good 8 yrs, until my uncle got it. He got it running again and cleaned it up. He cleaned it up best he could but the nice headers were just to far gone. I bought the boat last week and took it out today.

    Ran great did 72 via gps, idled awesome as well. My plan is to just clean it up good and cruise it. Luckily my Dad is still friends with the engine builder. He has records still of whats in the motor.

    Heres a few pics and a video of me and my mom idling around
