Hi All, My name is Mike and like i said i'm from Southern Oregon. All of my spare time is spent Jet boating and Steelhead/Salmon fishing on the Rogue River and the Umpqua Rivers in southern oregon. I am currently on my second North River jetboat. It is 22' and has a 350 fuel injected Marine Power engine coupled to a Hamilton 212 pump.
I recently purchased a 1976 14' Valco Flatbottom Sled with a 40hp evenrude jet that i'm in the process of doin a restoration to.
I found this website while looking for decals for the side of my valco and i'm totally impressed with some of the incredible jobs i have seen restoring some of the classic aluminum boats of the past, whether they are Jet or Prop.
I have been around Jetboats all my life on the Southern Oregon Rivers but this is the first time doing a restoration job on a classic boat. Some guys dig old cars, I dig old (and new) jet boats.
here is a little video that i put together that shows. how some of us spend our time out in the west. Mike.
P.S. Go Ducks !
