When I was a kid in the mid-'70s my parents and a couple of their friends had jet boats. One of our friends' boats was a competition boat with numbers and painted red, white and blue. They called it Rump Buster because there was no padding on the seats to save weight. I got to ride in it a couple times and will always remember the spun aluminum fuel tanks tucked under the gunnels, the anodized AN fittings, braided fuel lines, chrome headers coming up from the engine. We had a lot of fun on the Pot Holes Reservoir and Columbia River in Eastern Washington.

I grew up on the Columbia, stick to the lakes theses days but still have the same boat we had out there in the 80’s. We are on lake billy chinook most the summer.

I remember, back in the 70s, there was a very successful Avenger drag boat, named The Devil. Guy named Don Dameron drove it. Very influential in the early days of jet boat development.

So very cool , reminds me of Drag boat races , Fanshawe Park , London Ontario Ca. They had jet boats to prop. Blown 900 cu Donavan & the odd Keith Black engines. Awesome technology, then & now …Cool to see young motivated people coming together with great coordination. Nice event here 🇨🇦😊🇺🇸

Thank you Jared, Great video. 496 with Zoomies... Perfect sound with your morning coffee, to help get your day started. 😂 Also, your thoughts on a 1 foot pump setback conversion, so cleanout is on the exterior for easy access or popoff install. Keep up the great work Peace ✌️😎

I was worried... shop full of squirt boats... Nice save with the blown flatties.... I raced in the 80s and 90s (Vdrives) and some great people out there doing it... Fly safe....

Great video. My wife’s brother needed money and sold the wife his 1976 CeeBee Avenger it has an Oldsmobile 455 with upgrades like roller rockers and a 10 quart oil pan and possibly Keith Black Pistons with the four barrel carb their may be more I can’t ask her brother any more questions because he passed away recently. I had to put some money into the trailer so I haven’t done much to the boat except a new battery and an exhaust blower for the engine bay. This boat still has the factory hood on it but the hinges look like they came off a shed. 🙄 he said he ran it without the hood I’am thinking the hood may be hard to find out there in the boating industry. I’am needed a new fuel probe and fuel gauge looking to find one that isn’t an arm type I think I need a 10” probe for the tank would anyone know for sure? Wanting to get this boat in the water soon before it gets too cold. I subscribed 🔔

Hey Jared kinda off topic here, I’m in Seattle and seems Wa. Follows California in environmental laws. I know they are starting to crack down on loud pipes but some say California is going to be cracking down on BB emissions? Have you heard anything like that coming down the pipeline?
