My new jet boat.
This is a 1989 Caliber 1 with an LS7 454 and a Berk jet. Brought it home on my birthday this last October.

Very cool boat.
So you're runnin' 12:1 pistons and a solid lifter camshaft in a jetboat?
Seems like the racegas and miles per gallon of a jet would be a VERY EXPEN$IVE combination.Membership upgrade options: http://www.screamandfly.com/payments.php

Yes he did.
When your boat was built, Cliffs shop, Warlock, Stratton interiors, Advantage boats and Fiberglass Concepts were all on the same street in Anaheim hills on Eisenhower circle. A big horseshoe shaped street. I was GM at advantage at the time and got to know Cliff fairly well. He moved his shop to a building farther West a mile or so but still in the same general area, over by Mcfadden Dale hardware. Some of his molds came from Eliminator where he also came form, but his Caliber1 boats were far and away a better built boat than his former boss churned out. Top quality rigging, glass and gel work and attention to detail were what he was know for, plus he was a very funny guy. He had a very cool 1950's vintage, fiberglass bodied 3 wheeled golf cart that he fixed up and would make the rounds in, visiting the other shops.
He ran into BIG trouble with the IRS, but that's another story.
The guy that owns Caliber now is running ads on craigslist to unload all his inventory.

Cool looking boat. I like the back seat layout, that's different.

hey so I know this thread is old back to 2009. But I am really trying to find this boat. I just came across this forum trying to find my fathers boat that he has built back. And this is it. I would really like to get some info on it as if you still have it or if you know who does have it. Looking to get it back. I know it’s a long shot doesn’t look like anyone has posted on this thread for awhile. Really hope to hear back about the boat. Thank you my name is jacob!

Has Calif registration. Call or visit CA DMV and request info based on the CF number ... They will give you last registered owners name and address.
That boat was CF 4374 KK
