You can just send me the money and I'll store it here for you for a nominal monthly fee.  I have lots of room.   :D

WHy would you want that Kevin?  Those Jet Hydros are not runners.  A Jet Hydro doesn't make sense.  Sure, they look cool, but they work against each of it's own principles.  Hydro's need to "Blow the tail" to be effective while you need to keep the tail in the water for a Jet.
Back in the day years ago, I always wanted one of those Willis Ski Hydros, which were also Jets.  But, they are not very safe at speeds.  Look at how much work Jet Hydro at the HB forums has been going through in modifying his to try and make it work.  It's just not worth it because you are fighting against 2 different engineering principles.
I personally would not feel safe in a Jet Hydro going over 70mph max.  Some people might, but that's just my opinion and I'd take a Gullwing, Picklefork Tunnel, Semi-v Bottom, and even a flatbottom, over a hydro ANYDAY if it were going into a Jet.  And yes, I've ridden in one before, and have raced against a few (and won every time). ;)

Yep, that's without motor.  But it's a JET boat and those never did work well in a Hydro.  That's probably why you don't see alot of them running on the lakes and rivers....because the Manufacturers finally wisened up and realized that maybe it isn't a very safe deal to be building and selling them.

YEah, but you'd have to do some major cutting on the bottom of it and get rid of that pad that's there.

Well, what's your definition of a good price?  I personally wouldn't take a bare Jet Hydro hull if it was GIVEN to me.  Now if it had some hardware or a pump in it, that would be a different story :D

And don't forget, the Jet Hydro's are the WORST TURNING Jet boats out there today and they don't turn anything like a jet boat in any other type of hull as mentioned above.  EVen a flatbottom jet turns better that a Hydro Jet

I'd take a bare one if it was free, if it has hardware I'd strip it sell all the junk, that one's got everything there but the motor, it's got to be worth $2000, the trailer is worth that!..Oh btw, hydros weren't made to turn!. :D  :D  :)

I don't know man, looks like too much work converting it and still yet another project that I wouldn't have time for.
Yeah, I know hydros are not made for turning ;)   But since the original intentions of the Manufacturers were to make it a "Lake Hydro", well, I just don't know why they'd build something intended for a weekend family boating trip and have it not be able to turn good :confused   :stupid  :stupid

Ahhh....But there's a difference.  My 10" lift is practical, functional, and necessary for off-road excursions that occasionally occur.  Ground clearance is a must for some places that I drive :D   Besides, it makes it easier to change the oil :laugh

What ever helps you sleep BBT.  :D

Image plays a bigger role in the cars/truck/boats we drive.  Otherwise we would all have bayliners with huge fricken outboards clamped on the back being towed around by Nissan pick ups.  :D

Thats the same story I used to tell people when they would ask me why my trucks were so high :laugh And as far as off roading goes :stupid  your area is a little weak as far as off roading goes unless you call mud, river bottom and rice patties off roading. Hell the highest mountain around there is about 1000 ft elevation :p

Say what?  Have you ever heard of the Rubicon?  The Start of the Rubicon trail is about 1 hour from my house.......  And the Mountains, I can be in the Sierras within 45 minutes after walking out of my front door, and all the way through the Sierras within 2 1/2 hours (Via I-80 to Reno).  What about Strawberry Valley?  There's some nasty trails up there too.  I'd say that we have some of the toughest trails in the USA around my area.  Sure, there's lotsa Mud Bogging around, but there's also lots of expert rated trails in the vicinity also.

Well my idea of off roading is just like having a boat, build a badass truck and trailer it to where you're going to play, that way you don't have to rely on it to get home and you can have fun with it, if you break it you trailer it and take it home!... :good

I wa sreading some more of the thread and I guess its not a hydro style bottom. Sounds more like a picklefork  :good
