Let see some pictures , do you have forward controls in your boats ? That may be a really good idea . Do you run these river on a regular bases? I was trying to find out if there any more then 1 boat launch on the New ( Thurman was the only DNR could think of ) .

I was checking today with WV Dnr and they was going to send a booklet with river and streams that I was aloud to run a jet on . One river that I was looking to run is the New River in southern Wv . I have a buddy that lives out around Harrisburg Pa , which is the Susguehanna River , Plus local...

Cool jet , I really do like the set-up . I'm was just trying to get my ducks in a row too start this build off on the right foot . I'm a Omc fan for sure I've had them on fishing boats for at least 10 years now and not once has one of them left me stranded on the water anywhere . I have a 30 hp...

16x48 It is , Now is it better to have the steering console center , or side or does it really matter ? And do you want to be in the middle of the boat front to rear ? I already thought that I would put my trolling motor battery up front , maybe a small live well in the center ? Is there any...

I was speaking to outboard jet corp, they said that I could get away with running a 50 hp on a 16x48 , And still be within horsepower limit of the boat with a jet because you lose about 30% of your horsepower with there jet . Do you know if 40 hp would put in a good around power range or would...

Please explain v , Do you mean modifed V hull or just a v hull . Well I spoke to a fellow today and he had a 14x48 with a 30 hp jet on it , that he is selling because with 2 guys it does fine , when you add a 3rd guy it just don't work that good . That's why I was asking the question about...

Well I've been kicking this around for some time , I was looking to build a jet boat out of a 16x48 or a 14x48 Alumacraft . Can anybody give some insite on this ? Like the 16x48 I was looking at running a 50 /35 jet ? Or the 14x48 I was looking a 35 / 20 jet ? Or maybe a 40 hp / jet ? I'm...

Well , it's funny you should say that , I was out messing with it and the bulb was pretty soft and I thought the same thing , If I can find one tomorrow I was going to replace everything and give it a go . Next question to the group , How do you what size your carb you have on your motor ? Can...

Thanks , I had just picked this motor and boat up the other day , and the guy was trying to start it . And I thought that there was more to it than what he said . I have never owned one with electric primer on it . Anyway I could get it to run it I put some gas in the carb . But when I...

It has a automatic prime system built on to the motor . I'm not sure if this is the correct terms . So right now when I try and start the motor it just cranks over and I get no gas . Is there any way of check it to see if the valve is open or is it getting juice ? Like with an ohms ? Any...

Nice build , Where do you live at in West Virginia ? I live in the northern panhandle WV . I've been looking for a buildable jon . Yea that hasn't worked well . Thinking about just buying a new one from Cabela's . Anyway nice job ! =D>

Very nice ! =D> Keep posting pictures , I'm hoping to find me a jon boat shortly .

Well with that question answer , On the motor plate it has a weight limit . My question about this is the weight limit does that include everything in the boat with the motor , trolling motor , battery , etc or just the people and fishing stuff ? Forgive me I'm just trying to get schooled up...

Sorry I thought I did up date my profile . Anyhow I live in the northern panhandle of West Virginia . I love to fish the streams and the ohio river , and lakes in WV , Ohio , and Pa . I fish for Bass , Pan fish , Cats , Muskies . I just was wondering , I'm all about be legal , I just wondering...

Come on ! Nobody can shed any light on this .

I'm have a question for the group . If you add side controls to a Jon boat can you go a bigger motor ? or could you get limit plate changed so that you would be legal ? Like a tiller boat has a lower limit than a center control or a side control boat , on the same size boat . Like when you...

Nice Job , I love the name of your boat .

Well the most of the guys saying mod v is the way to go , :idea: what about some ideas on conversions . Like good ideas that you came up with or a something bad that happen . Like don't use that kind material .

Thank You , And thanks for the help .
