    Hi, anyone that recognize the brand/modell on this jet drive?

    It's from 1986 and the only identification I've found so far is the no. 60-7500-207. The boat (a Buster Jet, very unusual) has a 65hp Suzuki, but I haven't found any info about Suzuki making inboard jet drives.

    Grateful for any "clues" that can help me solve the mystery!!

    Hello Berz,

    Like you, I don't find much. The Buster boats seem to come from Sweden and are popular. I didn't find any that are jets. And certainly not with a Suzuki jet.

    Is it possible that someone put a Suzuki jet ski in a Buster boat? That weld doesn't seem to match the style and pictures of the Buster boats I did find online.

    Do you have more pics of the power plant and the boat?

    Chris

    Hi Chris,

    I just got a confirmation from DeckJet, the producer of Wetbike and (Ultranautics) Jetstar, that it is a Jetstar jet pump. This is a very strange pump selection because it is very difficult to maintain. However, the Jetstar power train is very compact

    If you need any manuals please check out Wetbike.me.
