Trying to rebuild my grandfathers old Hawaiian jet boat with a ford 460 motor and panther jet. Looking help with everything and anything. Does anyone else have a jet boat with a 460 in it?!

I’m not the most knowledgeable when it comes to boat motors. Looking at any advise including what I could be missing on the motor.

Hey Adrian, nice boat and cool to see you try and bring it back to life.

that being said I think you’ll find some better help on a performance boat forum like this one https://www.performanceboats.com/forums/jet-boats.33/.

This forum is primarily for more recreational inline 4banger jet boats from Yamaha, Scarab etc using jet ski engines.
 
Aloha... hope to see you get that thing in the water. What Island?

HAWAIIAN is the manufacturor. Popular in the 70's. Looks like the boat was registered in CA.

Sidebar...my wife is from the big Island but lived mostly on Oahu.
