    anyone know how much that g3 goes for? I've looked at it once before. But at the time I wasn't ready to pull the trigger on a new rig (or new to me). I have my truck paid off now. So. that was the deal between me and the wife. Truck paid. New boat.

    need help choosing a rig

    The duck river. I met up with a member on here before and he showed me his Snyder jet boat. I liked it a lot. But it is a little different than what I am wanting. His hull had to be .250 or something along those lines. Which is too much IMO. But I think I may try the caney some too eventually...

    need help choosing a rig

    I'm looking to spend some where in the ball park of 15,000. I don't want to invest much more than that although it is possible. There aren't any good jets on craigs in my neck of the woods.

    Good information rude. I like as wide as I can get. occasional bow fishing happens so I like stability. that would work well for a1652? I'm a evinrude fan myself. I'd love a 75 rude with atiller but i'm not sure if they have it.

    I'm not dead set on that boat size.I was fishing from a 14 foot v hull Jon. And it did the job. Except for making it through shoals. But it wasn't a jet.

    I may be wrong but isn't wider better? As far as buoyancy? Planing off and such?

    homemade jackplate ?

    I made one for my jon boat, I used 2 3" angle aluminum rods for the bases, and 2 more flipped to make it adjustable. Secured it with four SS bolts and two sheets of marine grade plywood. let me see if i can find a picture.

    optaylor, thanks for showing me your rig. I enjoyed every minute of it! Yes i'd want to use it more for reduction of friction than impact resistance.

    Jet boat owners... Questions.

    Where is a good place to get UHMW? I'd also like to see some boats with this installed. Is screwing / Bolting the stuff to the boat the only solution?

    I heat up a the area of the boat with a propane torch and ram hot glue into any leaky problems... works well for me. especially on just leaky rivets. Or i've heard gluvit works well too on aluminum boats.

    Jet boat owners... Questions.

    tha'd be awesome! I regularly float the river from riverside dam to chickasaw via canoe. But i'm looking for something that can take UP and down the river. I don't plan on using the boat on "big" water. It'd only make it to the lake less than 5% of the time I'd say.
