Well I have always wanted a jet boat after always seeing our neighbors down at the lake,so I found one and finally jumped on it today and brought it home.
77 Tahiti 18" 4 seater with a built 460ci Ford,not sure on the engine specs but it has a nice lopey cam and was told its around 400HP,sounds really nice. Runs 75mph all day
Needs a nice cleaning and could use a new gel coat adventually as it is starting to flake in a few spots,otherwise its in pretty good shape for the year.

So this is the ridiculous new toy. Looks fun. Now you just need to repaint it blue or green to match one of your pullers (or black, blacks always nice).

A mountain lion roaming the prairie found a bull, killed it and ate the entire bull. With a heavy belly, unable to walk, the lion laid in the tall grass moaning and roaring. Soon a hunter, attracted by the roaring, shot and killed the lion.
Moral: When you're full of bull, keep your mouth shut!

Greasemonkey could tell stories about an 18' Tahiti that his son's friend used to have. That one was an outboard and was crazy fast!
Am I missing something but it looks like your boat is left-hand drive?
It's all about the ride to get there, the destination doesn't matter!

I believe most tahiti's were left hand drive. Im pretty anxious to try this thing out,the owner made it sound like its pretty nuts.

Very Nice.
I went for a ride in a 1977 Carlson Glastron CVX-18 once,
scared the crap out of me. He took a corner and I wasn't hanging on
so I ended up on the floor.

Tried it out today,worked pretty good! Needs a few little kinks worked out of it yet. It takes off pretty fast,not sure what it was hitting for top speed as I forgot my GPS at home. I was giving Quinlan a ride and turned to sharp and to fast causing water to come over the front,needless to say I soaked myself.Quinlan somehow remained dry

Tried to find some pics. but I don,t have any decent ones.
My boys friend had a 21 foot Tahiti with a 225 HP Johnson outboard on it. The boat was scary fast but the guy that owned it was a nut case driving it. He would drive it like a PWC.
He was so hard on it that the transom finally gave up the ghost so he got rid of it after they rebuilt the motor.
