Tahiti jet boat info
Just thought I would post a picture of my 1970 19 foot Schuster Torino Tahiti jet boat. I took a picture of the emblem on the side. I rebuilt the pump myself last november, with a rebuilt 454. Would love to hear some feedback from anyone with info. I believe it's an original. I do all my own work so far on it. I've had it about 5 years, got it from a friend who got it from a friend as payment of a debt. My friend didn't know how much trouble the berk and BBC were in, and he didn't want to put money into it so he sold it to me for 500 bucks, and then I had the motor rebuilt, and rebuilt the pump myself, first time. So far have 15 hrs on the newly rebuilt drive train. Just thought I'd share it and see what kind of info is out there!

Sweet ! Those boats were the rage over here in Long island, NY back in the late 70's early 80's.

My Tahiti looks different then a Dateline, more of a flat bottom, shorter at the transom. Mine is a 19 foot. Larger boat.
