  • Jetski project almost done

    Here is my 2013 Kawasaki Ultra 300x, supercharged wade fishing missile! Today all the aluminum should be mounted, then light bar, Garmin 54dv, and nav lights by this weekend. With the ski and triton aluminum trailer and all custom aluminum, lights , electronics, etc, Im at $12,000 all in. 70 mph and a range of about 80 miles I think its gonna be perfect for me. I mounted a 8' Stick-it anchor pin to the side, I put OPT-7 LED bow lights and a LED anchor light in rear. Bought a brand new Garmin 54DV in the box with Down Vu Transducer for $200 on craigslist. Im using my existing 45qt Pelican cooler which will pull double duty for work. Benny @ Fusion Custom Aluminum in Pearland did some beautiful fabricating and welding for me at a VERY reasonable price. Also have 2 OPT-7 LED spots going on either side of gps. I have been thinking/praying on buying my boat the last two years and finally came up with this as a financial compromise. My note is $224/month, and full coverage insurance is $18/month.Let me know what yall think and Ill see you on the north shoreline.......God Bless!

      I saw one offshore-he went under the platform and snapped his rods-don't do that!!
      "Hey Hillary, regarding the Benghazi Attack on 9/11-we'll just blame it on that movie, not my total lack of security. By the way, what's so significant about 9/11 anyway-was that a date my buddy Bill Ayers of the Weather Underground blew up a government building?" asked Obama to Hillary. BEAUTIFY AMERICA, RUN OVER A LIBERAL, THEN BACK UP AND SEE IF HE'S DEAD.

        Dude that's awesome - I like seeing this made out of a modern three seater, instead of those offshore 4 seaters (which are still pretty awesome).

        Hope to see you out in the marshlands, I'm in a blue poling skiff - will stop by and say hello if I catch you out there.

              Man that thing looks tight! Nice!

              Question...what will you use the LED lights for? I thought it was against the law to run a PWC at night?

                well, what makes a pwc illegal to run at night I think I have remedied. It will be a lot more visible than most boats I see. At the end of the day if I get pulled over and get a ticket.....its illegal. we will see.

                    Looks great, I saw a group out of freeport at the 9.9999 mile reef , they had it down to a science. It was not a flat day , 22' foot not that easy.
                    I saw them on the radar from a long way off, figured I would go see what all the fuss was. since I was skunked that day.
