If you have interest in reading more about Rick Lee's "Hurry Round Hondo" jet boat, there's a first-person account of what it was like by Rick at http://classiccustomboats.com/v-drive-slayer/

Boat was owned by Slowride (Mike) for a number of years. Not alot of flatty jets around. FE powered too! I recall that this restore went back to old HB days and Mike detailed the uncovering of that original gelcoat. Guessing 7-8 years ago. Ford Econoline winking in the lower left corner and I think I remember that Dodge truck as well.
