Sold
I've had this thing sitting around for a while. I know the jet drives aren't all that fast but I just think these have a certain coolness factor to them. Anyway, the stringers need to be redone, transom looks good, interior is ok but not original, it needs paint and has been painted before. It looks like a Berkly jet drive but I don't see any markings on it. The engine in the picture was pulled as it was seized from sitting in the open. I have a good 327 pulled from another boat that goes with it. Trailer is in nice shape. I may also be interested in having it restored if anyone on here would be interested in the job. Unfortunately this is the only picture I have right now from when it was stuffed in my garage. I don't know what it's worth. I was thinking $1500?

Thanks Shivers. I had a lot of replies the first couple days I listed it on Kijiji but no one coming out yet. Going to stay firm at $1500 or wait till I have time to do something with it. A couple people told me it's pretty rare and unique, one guy told me the pump is likely a Jacuzzi. I don't know much about them so I have no idea. Here are some more pictures

Very high on Cool Factor
I had an I/O J-Craft in the 70's which got a lot of looks.
Remember many guys running around in 327 V-drive J's as well.
I'd buy this in a minute if I had the space to restore it.
Might think about this.

I really wanted to keep this for a family runabout since the other are not user friendly! My time is filled with the current holes in the water! A member here has shown interest and has first right to purchase! i will post if the boat is still available!
