Hi Mike, I risk everything just replying to this, but pictures speak a thousand words! Also roughly whereabouts is the boat? Thanks... Mark

If you don't know where to start... start somewhere, the rest falls into place.

I don't know what that photo is although it seems to be rivetted aluminium.
We never used a 1300cc engine in a Jetstar. The first models had the
Ford 1500 engine after that were all Ford 1600 GT  Xflow
with the alternative BMW 130 engine also available.
More pics would be most helpful.

Hi Alan.
I believe it did have a 1600 x flow originally but that was taken out many years before I chanced upon her.
It's a fibre glass hull.
Only identification mark is Jetstar on the dashboard.
Can you identify the year at all and model?

Seating configurations is two bucket seats and two pads on the floor with a padded back rest inside the transom
