Hi everyone. Just got my first jet boat this year. A 15 foot thundercraft typhoon. Used it for 2 months and this past weekend had the high temperature alarm go off. When I pulled the boat out the intake was full of weeds. So I'm not too concerned. I found this site looking through Google. Looks like lots of knowledge on here.

Welcome Drew. Glad that you found us. I dont have any first hand experience with your make/model. But sucking up stuff is something most of us are familar with. Good thing for the over heat alarm!!! It's saved many of us too. Usually I know right away when I (read this as my wife) sucks up a ski rope or something. ;) Congrats on buying the new boat.

Welcome aboard!!!!

That boat looks like a ton of fun. We LOVE pictures and videos here, so be sure to post plenty of them.

And if you post your boat's picture in our "Show us your boat" thread https://jetboaters.net/threads/show-us-your-boat.240/ you will be the first Thundercraft on there.

That thing must be a blast to drive. I owned a 1997 seadoo speedster before my yammy and had loads of fun with it.

Welcome! I've never heard of a Thundercraft Typhoon....looks like it would be lots of fun though.

thundercraft is Canadian based (quebec). it was taken over in the 90's by cadorette and then taken over by doral. I've only seen these boats in Quebec or eastern Ontario.
