Hi,
My Dateline Bikini is currently for sale. It's a jet drive unit powered by the 3.0 V6 Ford "Essex" engine. Always fully rinsed down and the engine flushed out with fresh water after every trip. Really loved her and tried to maintain her in the best condition possible. Perfect for hooning about or wakeboarding/tubing/skiing. It's on boats and outboards and ebay (
auction here).
Wish I'd found this forum earlier! Might have come in handy when we were searching high and low for the rubber "doughnuts" (finally got 'em from PP Jet, the original manufatcurer). Still, I'll be sure to call in here whenever we hit problems with our current project - another Dateline (this one a Bounty) with another jet and another Ford Essex (this one fettled to 3.2, tho
).
