Description Country/Region of Manufacture: United States
Highly collectible, original, classic, American SurfJet. Motorised surfboard. Restoration project. Potential to make a good profit. This board restored will be highly sought after.Included are two bodies but only one engineThis is the real deal and a true original. A piece of great American motorised surfboard history. Not many of these boards going around the UK. This Surf Jet cannot be compared to all the cheap Chinese models that are made cheaply and still getting made. They do not manufacture the SurfJet anymore and the price, demand and desire for these boards just keeps going up.The SurfJet was made to last and they have a great reputation for going forever and been very reliable. We bought this board in parts and the seller was under the impression that all the parts were there. We have not made any progress with the project so we don't know if all the parts are there but at a glance they all appear to be available. We wouldn't be surprised if once the restoration got going a few parts were found to be missing as this is quite often the case with these projects.We have two bodies and both are in good condition and included in the sale but the one is the best original body we have ever seen on a SurfJet. It is very rare to find an original body like this that has not been painted or patched up. This body could do with a good polish and thats it.The engines turns quite easily and we don't believe you will have any problems with the engine. There is no spark but that is as far as our testing went. There are a couple websites and you can order parts from America and Germany. You will find some very helpful Facebook pages and groups where you can meet some very helpful Surf Jet enthusiasts. These boards are quite powerful and fast and if you search SurfJet on youtube you will find some great footage.These boards and engines are a very simple and practical design.We have a user manual for the board that we will give to you to help you with your project.The SurfJet is listed elsewhere and we will obviously end the auction early if it sells.
