    Welcome to Vintage Jet Boats. Nice looking lines on that boat. Almost has that Sanger look. I love the rounded transom.
    I think I read somewhere that they were made from the old Rogers' molds.

    That is a nice looking rig. All I know is launch it, floor it, and try to wipe the smile off your face.
    IT'S O.K. IF YOU DISAGREE WITH ME. I CAN'T FORCE YOU TO BE RIGHT.
