In HS,86, picked up a 14 foot 67 Elgin. Same design as his 1st boat there. Tossed a 45 on it. Loved that thing. So light, the 45 picked it up on plane in a heartbeat, did maybe 40. Spent 2 summers with it. Great times. And great boat here. Things a beauty

[@bacontaker4669]

Just wanted to say thank you for doing what you do. When people post how they do things it really gives others confidence to do their own projects. I'm basically doing everything that you are doing to the SST. I've done absolutely nothing even remotely close to this before. So to you and your wife? I say thank you sir and madam! Maybe I'll see you out there on the lake someday in my 1977 crusader!

[@jamintoday5137]

I've watched your channel for years but never saw this history. Awesome thanks. And your wing gal with Awesome help. Good team!!

[@offhandacoustic]

Had a 1000 dollar boat fall in my lap last summer, 81 Glastron ssv 167. Me and my three sons have been slowly making improvements. Re made all the interior and fixed all the mechanical issues. We have had Dime-Boat Darrell on the water three times now and every time we find something else to improve as we go. Nothing like the memories already made with my family and this boat. Little over 2000k invested so far.

I was searching for a family boat and came across a jet boat a guy was selling during my search. Which lead me to searching on what it could be and found your video. Awesome project and awesome boat. So I like what you said. Why buy a boring boat. I am an old gear head nut and was looking at building my first hot rod. You have inspired me into thinking about building this boat instead of getting something else. This would be way too much fun. It has a V8 old school motor and a Bayjet drive. Just have to finish it. Similar to your project. Can't wait to see what you do next. Cheers.

[@ADDvanced]

Hot rod boat > hot rod car - No speed limits - Bikinis - Everyone's having a good time - No suspension work - No rust repair One thing tho, squirters are not efficient, way less efficient than a prop, so given two boats of equal size weight and shape, the prop will have a higher top speed and be more fuel efficient. They're still fun, just.... they clog with weeds really often, which is not super fun. Good luck either way!

Cool boat, love the lines. I myself have seen a couple of unique boats like yours sitting on peoples properties over the years and wondered if I should buy the thing, to restore, but Im too old now to get into a full resto. However I just bought a 88 formula 272sr1. Its more of a boat to appreciate the classic look and feel, and I have always wanted a big offshore style boat, so I will have lots of fun with this one...

[@joshrickards419]

A little history for your boat. In your video you keep referring to it as a “twin tunnel” when in fact it does have a name. Back around the early eighties (80-81) the APBA sanctioned a class of boats called Mod VP which stands for modified V hull production. A handful of boat builders made these boats (Mod - VP) for this class, Sleekcraft, Eliminater, and Stoker to name a few. They were faster and much more stable then their V hull counterparts. Very cool boats and still popular today if you can manage to get your hands on one, rare boats. Great to see someone restoring these! Great video.

[@ADDvanced]

Check out my SST video (blue boat) :)

[@jml7916]

One mans boring boat is another’s treasure. Bought a trailer for my boat and it came bundled with a free POS boat. A boring 1975, 19’ runabout with a 165 Merc I/O. Ripped out the interior, cleaned it up, tuned it up, replaced all the rubber parts on the motor. Installed 2 cheap seats and a $300 kicker and gave it to my father in law for his retirement. He loves his fishing boat. He could afford new if he wanted but that little boring boat is his treasure.

You don't need to be a good carpenter for something like this; it's just hacking it to close to the right shape with a jigsaw, then using a belt sander until it fits decent. You make up for any gaps using resin and microballoons to make a thicker plastic putty. It's pretty hack imho. lol.

I have a 350 small block marine engine I am trying to delete the risers and install over transom headers. How did you do it? And how is there water flowing out of your exhaust headers with no obvious lines connecting to them? Appreciate it if you could explain how you did it can’t find any videos on the conversion

[@sheadelargy2445]

I see the water lines underneath the headers but don’t understand how they work. Also could you post a link to the headers ? And are they pronounced steleens or steleins headers? Thanks @ADDvanced

[@ADDvanced]

@@sheadelargy2445 I don't think you want to buy these headers, as these cost around $10,000 for a pair. I lucked out on them from someone who did not know what they are. Start googlign drag boats, water goes in through a pick up (in my case the stern drive), goes through a hose and cools the power steering, then goes into the waterpump on the front of the engine. This then goes through the engine and comes out near the thermostat, which splits and goes down both sides of the engine, and into the headers, and then out the back.

[@sheadelargy2445]

@@ADDvanced oh wow I didn’t realize the cost. Hopefully I could find a pair like you did if they are in the 500$ range. Did you need to buy any supporting parts? How difficult were they to install? I don’t mean the headers themselves but all the re-routing of hoses and everything involved. Could you possibly make a video explaining how you did everything? I have never seen a video or anything on google of an inboard outboard with headers installed in replace of the risers. Could be a cool video as you would be the first one as far as ive seen. Thanks

@@sheadelargy2445 Honestly just join a jet group man. There's literally no difference in the hoses/cooling system.

No I did not, this is a 78 and was produced before flotation foam was a requirement. I do have pool noodles, an inflatable tube, PFDs, and other things that float up under the bow so if it does every sink hopefully the tip will stick up long enough to tie something to it and drag it to shore.
