Hi all fellow boat owners,
I'm thinking of converting a jet boat/rigging it with a out board.
I'm sure "boat guys" like me have tried and/or succeed, I'd like to be given some points on
what to & what not to
Many thanks in advance

I wouldn't waste my time doing a conversion on a cored Sea-Doo jet boat

Hi Scott,
Why would you say that & what do you mean by "cored" ?
I currently own/use '90 Bayliner Capri and she starting to sit (really) low in the water due to soaked foam/wood & (may) get two more seasons out of her.

I thought because these jet-boats are fiberglass all around I would a nice floating boat without being waterlogged (please correct me if I'm wrong)
The seats are in really condition (not faded/ripped) so I thought I can turn this into a nice boat without spending a million

So please educate me......any/all of you tuned in because I'd like to make an educated decision before I dive in
many thanks in advance
