Hey guy's, great forum you have here. Very informative and well behaved.
I'm up in the Yukon, where the is probably the best river system in the world. Everything from joyride to down right stupid jet boating. I tend to go for the later. I have a 13 foot custom, 175sj, it's along the lines of the tom cat. I love the jet boating I do, [ last year 150 hrs] but I need speed.
Is there a race sched in the north and how offten do you race, I have a very demanding work sched so I can't make all race, but retirement is not far away If anyone good give me some answer as to how to get racing that would be great. I'm hoping to make the worlds at the end of the month. I sure would like to race in it. Can anyone give me info about the boat fore sale, I think she's called BUD LITE , the red 240sj. Hope to here from some of you and see you on the river. |

Jet'
there are several raceboats available on the market right now including 2 Sj's that I am aware of, Your best bet is to scan the race classifieds and call the owners for the best info.
BabyBud and Thunderstruck are both for sale as far as I know and both great boats. We also have a few boats left which could be pressed into use for the words if you were desperate and motivated altho probably only in a higher class, FX and up
Hope this helps
Cheers
p.s. we need to see pics and video of your boating up there! _________________ T-53 , why go up and down when you wanna go round and round???? |

Thanks for the reply, I just tore my CP apart looking for pics. Not here, must be in my CP at home, I will post some when I get back to town. I'm real pumped to get down to the Worlds, my sched is getting tighter, but should still be able to make it. It's a good thing I'm in camp right now, the wife wants to rip my head off, I told her I was buying another Jet Boat . I don't see the problem, anybody else, guess she don't get the need for speed thing, UH. Mabey I should go to FX, least I won't have to listen to her screaming at me in the Nav seat

You can see at the forum a nice red sport jet, ready to race, give me a call maybe we can do deal. The boat is in Mexico, but in 4 days can be here, only 3 races, nice and clean bottom. very fast.

|
|
Need some info about hulls. I've noticed there are a few styles of hulls you guy's are using, which one works the best? It's doesn't seem that one hull is any faster than another and most hulls that I've seen or am looking at are step-tec. Is that because it's tougher, more forgiving, faster? Is there a hull to stay away from? Up here in the Yukon, nobody has these sort of boats, so I'm at the mercie of you guy's to point me in the right direction. Hopefully, I can get a boat up here this year and get some more people hooked, god knows we have the rivers for it. One other thing, is most of the racing done on Class I rivers and do you race higher class rivers.
Thanks Guy's
PS....... More dumb questions to follow in future |
