Hello there, Here's my situation. My buddy gave me a Glastron Carlson jet boat. It is an early 80's CVX 20, I think. It needs some work!!! It has a Berkeley jet drive in it that has supposedly been re-built. How can I make sure it is in good shape? Also, just coincidentally, it ran a 455 Olds. It blew up!! My buddy lost interest in the boat. I read your posts about Ford big blocks being reliable, cheap, and easy to hot rod. Will the jet drive hook up to a Ford motor or is it "set up" for an Olds? Also, have always been a fan of big block mopars. How to they stack up in the jet boat world? As you probably have gathered, I know nothing about jet boats, except that they look cool and float!! (I hope). Thank you!!
