So...it looks like you can ramp a jet ski off another pretty cleanly....
Whoever appeals to the law against his fellow man is either a fool or a coward. Whoever cannot take care of himself without that law is both. For a wounded man shall say to his assailant, "If I live, I will kill you. If I die, you are forgiven." Such is the rule of honor.

He just bailed like a bitch instead of trying to stick it.

Damn that's cheap. I'm looking for a standup to put crossways on the front of my trailer that I have the polaris skis on.

There's a ton of em on some of the river towns and lake havasu for dirt cheap. If you could ever make it financially viable to get it back east.

I've got several people out looking around. Hopefully they find something. If someone finds something soon enough, I may just try and build the Lamont II around the motor, instead of trying to find a 14' jon. I could build it to look like a camo hydroplane racing boat. It'd be awesome.

Assa, I was just thinking, I've got a boat half way taken apart on which fiberglass work is inevitable and a pair of jet skis with good running engines in them.... I bet you'd love to be in my position right now. :lol:

Should I use both engines, or keep one if the skis?

No leaves here. I'm starting to think it's not gonna happen this year. I just can't find a damn motor, and my drop dead date for starting the boat is Sept 1.
