I own a 1978 Hurst Jet Boat...need help!
Hey there guys and gals on this forum. I have a 1978 Hurst Jet Boat that I am trying to find out information about it. I can't find any information on them, and all the jet boat dealers I have talked to don't seem to know what it is and what it would be currently worth. I am trying to find a certified appraiser or dealer who would have knowledge of this boat, you guys know of anyone....PLEASE LET ME KNOW!!!!!!! Any ideas of who to contact who may have knowledge of these boats is a great place to start...THANKS EVERYONE!!!

I have a friend with a Horizon that has the same issue. The 70's seem to produce many jet boat manufacturers that just did not make it through the competition. The boats were well made but I guess there were just too many. I will let you know if I come across any info.

Hurst Performance Boats-705 Newport Avenue-Clanton AL is all I could find except for some liens that were filed on them before they went out of business.

MUST... HAVE... PI.... PICTURES!!!!! MUST... HAVE.... PICTURES!!!
Seriously - I am hoping you can share some pictures of the boat with us. Maybe it's all good - rare boat, maybe well built, maybe good style??? Is it tied into the Hurst shifter corp?? If so could be a nice thing that there were only a few made.74' Apollo Starfire 18'

the boat is 18 foot v hull black with blue and silver scallops .the blue and silver are what looks like glitter the black has blue silver and red flake on it..i will put pics up as soon as possible. i just moved to fla the boat is still in atlanta i feel like i left my child behind. the closest comparison that ive seen is the late 70s sanger.
