So what ever happened to those fast jet boats they made back in the 70s and 80s? Most manufacturers either went out of business or stopped making them. You cant find a 2007 Taylor SS or a Kona, but you can still find that boat you treasured as a kid. Now I was born in the Early 80s so I do remember being on the water watching these jet boats really haul some a**

Generally these boats would run at least 60 or 70 miles an hour. Well I've got one for you that will run over 90. You can buy this without a breaking the bank. For what you can buy an entry level Baja for you could have this.

The 20 foot Carrera Eclipse. Pair this with a Chevy 502 and you are shooting a rostertail (water out of your jet drive) to the moon. The boat has an option of a dominator or american turbine jet drive. Both are good drives, but I'd rather have a Berkeley high performance out drive. You didn't know they still made those did you? Well they do, and for around $4,000 you can have the best outdrive I've ever seen.

A jet drive doesnt get quite as much horsepower to the "prop" as a propellered drive does, but they are so much safer. The jet drive also has a lot better acceleration. To see the entire line of Carrera's visit http://www.carreraboats.com/ .

Stay tuned to my group for more high performance boat news!
