What kind of speeds can this boat achieve? Can u give me some thoughts on the AT312? I have a new impeller and wear ring to install on mine... The tapered wear ring seems odd in that your tolerances could go to hell quite easily(or no?) ...And I'm about as green as grass to jet boat ownership and maintenance!

Sounds like you are pretty much doing the same thing as I am. I enjoy the fact that we can pressure wash ours out after a trip, and have tons of room for gear. The twin to mine is for sale for 27k here in peace. It still has the 4.3 and an AT PUMP, but I think would work well. 175 hours on it, and a stomp grate.

You could do like I did and run the 4.3 until you get used to the water then easily swap in a V8.


Chris, you're selling?

Need phone number... I'm just finishing my install now. Custom made a 1-13/16" socket for my 1/2" drive torque wrench. Went good...I think... Or just call me at 403-588-6979. Thanx, Joel.

Claud at Exact is a great guy. I have know him for about 15 years or more. Very knowagable on jets and jet boats. They build a great boat. Check out his web site or his sponser site on meanchicken. Give him a call to talk boats he will give you the straight goods.

River Jet Boating Forum ? Index page
Exact Welding: Aluminum jet boats, fabrication, welding in Prince George BC.


I just left there, he was good, he is emailing me a price....I think I am going to go with his boat
