    Hey guys, first time posting. I own an 87 wellcraft with a 383 aluminum headed blah blah and will be selling it. I am looking for a good 21-23ft jet boat that I can run some of my 600 inch big ford engines in? Need something atleast 21ft. Im 6'6" tall and the 18ft aint gonna work :rollside: Can anyone recommend some nice older jets in this range?

    Eagle 21' aluminum tunnel, Should do well over 100 with a 600 inch Ford in it and you will fit just fine. I fit in my 16' Eagle and I'm 6'3". Sorry it doesn't fit your "old" criteria, the bottoms are new, state of the art, and very efficient. Might not fit the budget if you are looking for an old jet boat, but you could probably find a used race hull for a reasonable price-Aluminum Squirt

    I have a Condor openbow that is a Rochell copy. My Brother in law is 6'8" and sits in my boat comfortably. He likes it because he can stretch his legs under the dash.
    These boats are more common in the middle plains state because they were made in Oklahoma. My buddy has a 22.5 Kachina that is a nice boat. It is a semi deep vee.
    Then there is all of the various daycruisers.

    don't get a back breaker... get something that rides smoothly. My boat is semi flat and beats me to death!
