1978 Colorado Jet Boat
This boat has been completely rebuilt from the hull up. It has new bucket seats, new carpet, and remainder of interior of boat has been “Rhino” lined. The paint job is in very good shape with a minimum number of nicks, etc. The boat has 2 aluminum tube shaped 11 gallon each fuel tanks with selector valve mounted beside driver’s seat. Kill switch with lanyard is mounted on driver’s side. “Hot Foot” throttle, trim, and reverse controls mounted between seats. The engine gauges are all new in 2008.

The Berkley 12JC-A pump was professionally rebuilt in April of 2008 by Gator Boats L.L.C. in Cuba Missouri. “Droop Snoot” and custom “Aluminum Ride Plate” are installed on the “Place Diverter Controls” nozzle.  Pump nozzle has been custom machined to accept “F.T.N.” (fine tuned nozzle) of which two sizes are included.   I have two impellers that sell with the boat at asking price. One is a stock aluminum “AA” cut and the other which is currently installed is an Aggressor Mag-Bronze “A” cut.
The engine was built by HGM, Inc. in Lebanon, Missouri in January of 2009. The engine block is “Tall Deck” 427c.i. bored .060” over which makes it a solid 465c.i. B.B.C.
