And yes, these jets were supposedly purchased directly from Hamilton Hough for this boat. Again, these are early hamilton jets for the US fishing...
Thanks to everybody for continued feedback. I am up here in Alaska working on the boat and getting ready for the upcoming season and to tell you...
Anthony - You have a good point about getting further input from Hamilton Jet. It seemed I had exhausted the resources there a long time ago,...
