Jetstar 390??
« on: November 29, 2018, 01:07:36 PM »
Hi All

I currently still waterski behind a Jetstar, I believe it is the 390 2 seat model, however I am struggling to find any information on this anywhere online...

If possible does anyone have any pictures of the 390 so that I could tell if my boat is one. I will post pictures to this thread when i get home from work later.

My Grandad bought this boat on Windemere in either 1973 or 74 we're not certain which one, it has a Ford Mexico 1600GT engine, all original except for a few replacement impellors in the castoldi jet. and one small incident where the trailer came off the car and we had a small bit of fibreglassing and paint job to do.

Thanks

Chris

There is a photo from one of the boat shows of the Bluebird Marine stand showing all the models on display. Definitely a 390 in shot. Can't find it right now but will keep looking.

Have had a brilliant reply from Alan with loads of information, ours is a 390 in almost original condition. That picture would be very interesting though if you managed to find it though
Thanks
