You just made my day, That boat belonged to one of my best friends who recently past. My first trip with that boat was to Mcintyre park in Blythe back in 1987. Its good too see her in the water again. My friend would be happy to see someone enjoying the same way he did. BTW back in the 80's that boat had dry stacks on it, very dangerous. I could tell you many stories about that boat. Hope you get to enjoy it for years to come as I did 30 plus year ago.

Thanks for the comment. Love thinking about all the history and good times this boat has seen. She’s in good hands! We’ve got a big trip coming up and the boat is currently getting some nice custom mods installed. Excited to share more videos here in the next month or so 🤙

The Bimini top is sick ! Keep it ! it’s a throw back to the 80’s ! Cool video ….🤘🏻😎🤘🏻cheers 🍻

Bimini tops may look neet and very summery , but catch the wind , and your boat can actually want to be an airplane . L O L . If you would like better speed and improved aerodynamics , get a nice coloured contoured plexiglass windshield . It will make your boat much more streamlined . Enjoy ! bye bye .

Hey brother dylan schubert here veteran marine mechanic and old jet boat junkie. Great boat and you got a steal in todays market, cant go wrong with a 385 series just built my 460 in my southwind. Quick suggestions for you, ditch that vac. Advance distributor(check TOTAL timing should be all in around 3k rpm), pop a "2 spacer under that holley, or dual carb tunnel ram if you dont mind burning some extra money on fuel. Let me know if you have any questions or ever need some help.

I want to upgrade the distributor for sure. Thanks for the suggestions and yes, I’ll be hitting you up when the time comes!

That is one BAD ASS river crib!

Find a jetovator the rooster tail will be legit… and get some wet stacks and let it run.. it’s obnoxious but so much 🤩

Early 70’s every boat builder was splashing each others hulls. It also looks like a Tahiti/Schuster/Weiman. Everyone in the boating industry was ripping each other off back then. Looks like a clean jet boat that will bring smiles for miles. Was the river park Shaggy Tree Ln? Either way it’s a great area of the lower river. Appreciate you sharing.

So many of them looked the same. The Rebel just had every exact line. Regardless, we love the boat. I don’t know if there is a name to the park where they’re located but it’s not far from Blythe. We’re going from Havasu back to the river house next month as our big vaca this year. Thanks for the comment brother!

Looks like a good time. Great little jet boat as well. I own a house south of you. Love this part of the river.

That works out! We land on a Sunday and leave Wednesday. Hoping to experience the lake without the craziness. Looks like some beautiful spots to go explore and swim. You’re the guy to ask then. One of the boat launches inside the park is class A launch friendly? Little nervous about it but one of the park ladies said she sees folks do it all the time. Hoping the ramp isn’t too steep!

I’d agree with you in most cases, just not in mine. Everything I buy is thoroughly gone through and over maintained. Most people looking for the cheapest thing they can find, just go out and hope it runs. We’ll both find out though as the Boat lives, it’s life on the channel 😂

Typical V-drive fanboy bullshit. He made a GREAT purchase. Sleekcraft rebel is a great hull, and it’s a 460 with a Berk behind it. Literally couldn’t be better. Most rebels came with Oldsmobiles and Jacuzzi jets which is a junk combo.
