Description

For sale: 19' 1979 Miller Jet Boat in excellent condition for a 38 year old boat. It does have a few spider cracks around the corners which, if you don't know anything about fiberglass muscle boats, happens due to the hull flexing. It's normal with these boats. There are a few very minor dings/scratches on the deck, and some scuffing on the bottom of the hull, but again, for a boat this age, it is in very good shape!!! The carbs need to be fine tuned, as it will run at 3000 rpm and above, but won't idle. I have had both carbs professionally rebuilt by Justin at Idaho Water Sports, but do not want to put any more money into it, and neither does my wife. I have video of the boat running on the water that I can send to your email address if you like, or would like additional photos, please ask. Specs are listed below.
Engine: 496" Big Block Chevy 11:1 compression. 700+ hp!
Block: 454 Gen V 4 bolt main, .30 over
Crank: Scat Steel 1/4" striker crank
Rods: Eagle Steel H-Beam rods 6.135"
Pistons - SRP Forged Dome pistons floating pins
Heads - Merlin Grumpy Jenkins series Aluminum 111CC chamber 2.30" intake valve 1.88" Exhaust
Manley extreme duty valves extra long.
Cam- Comp Cams specs below Hydraulic Roller Cam
Roller Rockers with 1.8 ratio which adds approximately .30" more lift
Carbs - Holly HP 750 CMF, Model 4150 Double pumper carbs with 4 corner idle and 30cc accelerator pumps
Ignition - MSD Billet distributor with MSD 6M 2L Ignition with soft touch rev limiter
Berkeley JC Pump with stainless steel A/B impeller and Place Diverter control
Bassett twisty style headers.
Optima battery.
Polished aluminum tall valve covers with breathers.
Fuel pressure gauge, and all braided stainless steel lines with AN fittings
Plenty of storage underneath the bow and seats.
Airbrush work on transom done by Doug Designs (who does a lot of pinstripe work for Chip Foose)
Including the boat, the cost of the engine build, the airbrush work, carbs, air scoop, and other things that I have done, I probably have $15000 into it.
Oil/filter were changed this spring, everything else is lubed and oiled as it should be.
Comes with bimini top, billet aluminum air scoop (shown), also a Formula 1 air scoop (not shown), baffles for the headers, still 5 years left on trailer tags, and a storage cover (although I have always kept it garaged, and so did the guy that I purchased it from).
Boat ran at 94.7 mph in southern California.
