Capt1972's jet-jon conversion

[capt1972]

Figured I should do a build thread to keep track of all the work this is going to be. Plus I found Flight's thread very informative and this might help someone down the road.

1/31/15 Bought a 95 Seadoo GTX 650 (80hp) for $400

2/4/15 Unloaded Seadoo from the back of the truck.

I'll get some pics up as soon as the temp gets above 0*

Good job so far!

[Flightstopper]

Damn right you should make a thread!

Nice, I can't wait to see another one of these come together. Always cool.

2/6/15 Temp at 6*. May venture outside to take a few pics of the ski. May not.....

[capt1972]

2/16/15 *update* ordered all the fasteners to complete the job. Online, didn't leave the house, no pics yet.

We have legit gotten 5ft of snow in the last 3 weeks. Been getting a storm every 3 days. I couldn't tell you the last time the temp was ABOVE freezing.

It will get better once I actually start working on it if it ever warms up. Until then I am calling this the "planning stage".

[Flightstopper]

Yup

[Deltaman]

Damn Capt, hope you make it out before summer and looking forward to seeing your jet-jon build once you get started.

[The Duck Hammer]

Wait till you see the next ones. 15 more inches from this last storm. All I have is a snow bank with a set of green handle bars sticking out the top.

Came across these tonight. I'm going all LED low draw lights due to the fact I don't know how much the charging circuit in the jet motor can handle. Plus LEDS are just plain cool. Going to use red/green for my nav lights.

[capt1972]

oops! Forgot the link.

What are you going to do with them, because you can get like 15 meter led strip lights with remote, multi color, for like $30

Sonofa...

You think just two bulbs will cut it for nav lights or are you going to do a couple for each color? I thought the fronts needed to be like 270* visibility
