got er painted today. Looks alot better.

Gonna install a new coolant water line exit tomorrow
Gonna reroute the exhaust out the transom.
 
It's amazing how much better things look with a fresh paintjob!

Still can't figure out why the previous owner, or for that matter, so many jet john builders, fail to build a cowling. I can't tell you how many videos I've seen where the operator and/or passenger are wearing flight deck earmuffs to ride in the boat. A cowling just seems like a good idea, not only to protect the operator's hearing, but to protect the engine from the elements, as well.
 
If I end up keeping it a little while I will build an aluminum cowling but im thinking about building a vinyl button on cover for now.
