I’m not good at anything but I’m fair at a lot of stuff. That’s the 1/2” poly for it in the floor.

Oh my Wife’s 07 AC Prowler 650h1 gave up so it was engine swap time . Still waiting on some gaskets.
However the Jet Jon is getting poly.

I guess I could figure the SQF and weigh a chunk but I’m not counting really.eeshaw wrote:How much weight did that poly add?
I’m hard on equipment and know what will take place once it runs.
The two big pieces of 1/2” UHMR black poly before cutting were close to 100 lbs.
If it’ll plane I’m good.... just trying to fish some shallow spots.

Something you might consider if you are going to be blasting thru shallows- I mounted a trailer winch (just a cheapie) in the bow of my boat. I have about 100' of line (combined) so I can get unstuck when I run aground. Funny, every since I mounted the winch, I haven't needed it!

Re: River Jet Jon
I just was considering a winch today!
So my poly locks inside the boat are a no go. You have to back up the screw and tighten the poly lock at the same time. I’m a one man show
.
I ordered SS LW and Nuts to replace the poly locks.

Sorry for thsee random stories, but your pictures triggers this stuff. My rear deck frame is just like yours. I made 3 deck panels. I have them locked in front with tabs that slide under the angle & lock down in the rear with jeep hood style tie downs.
Well, we were on highway doing about 70 & passed a semi. One of the plywood panels got sucked off from the vacuum blast! The hardware had stripped through. The ply landed in middle of road & we circled back to get it. No one was hurt or cars damaged so we were lucky there. Now I tie several straps across the rear decks when on highway, as well as made the latches 3x stronger.
