Here is my 12 ft Jetstreak which I got from my dad who has owned for 30 yrs. I had a lot of fun with when I was young, I found two old Johnsons,  25 hp green ones and made one out the two and put them on the boat it gave me something to do when I was 14 yrs old and it was a blast to drive. I have been trying to talk my dad out of that boat since and his famous words were, "that's a rare boat I have never seen any other like it",  and neither have I until I found this site. 

It was hard to get it out of him but I finally did this year by agreeing to let him and mom take it for a spin now and then, as it was part of my argument that it was sitting  out behind the machine shed in the dirt for the last 20 yrs and that if I got it I would restore it and have it running and on a nice trailer and they could use it once in a while and he finally agreed that was a pretty good idea.

 I have it stripped to the aluminum and have the motor mount rebuilt and doing some bodywork on it over the winter hope to have it in the water by spring.
