    Preventing rattling

    I'm with skiff... You're going to have to get it welded in certain spots.

    15 vs 20 in. transom

    If you have to get out of the throttle quick the backwash is less likely to come over the transom of a 20 inch transom than a 15. In short, as stated above it gives you more freeboard which makes you less likely to take in water n be swamped. Unless you run small lakes or rivers exclusively...

    Trolling with a 2 stroke?

    IMO it shouldn't be a problem provided you can run it wide open for 10 minutes or so after your done trolling.

    Modifying transome? ?

    Could always leave it at 20 inches and take it to a welder and have them make it into a prop tunnel by removing 5 inches from the bottom of the boat. Just a thought, I have one and love it.

    Finished my build today, need help tuning. Just sucking air.

    I think the standing recommendation is to line up the front grate pin hole with exactly even with the bottom of the boat. In your pic it looks like it might be a tad low but it's hard to say.

    Do I want a jet lower???

    Sorry to hear that man! You sound way more calm than I would be! Since you were towing it I'd bet your car insurance would cover it & they'd likely go after the dealer because it was their fault so it prolly wouldn't effect ur policy... In case your thinking about filling a claim it might be...

    New Outboard jet rig

    Sweet man! That's a barge! I like that set up - can haul a lot of decoys when they're open like that. Btw I hear the place to be for catfish, both flatheads and channels is down around Fallmouth and Marrietta. Might want to check those areas out if you're into catfish.

    New Outboard jet rig

    You & duckfish are spot on. I feel the same way it's a crying shame what's happened to the river. I grew up 2 blocks from the river in New Cumberland and remember 50+ fish days when I was 13-14 years old! I really only fish the spawn before the season closes & maybe a time or 2 in June after...

    New Outboard jet rig

    That sounds like & ideal combo should be more than enough power for sure! I'm a long time tiller guy myself on the same river I got my first 6hp when I was 16, then went to a 15hp then a 30hp (all prop driven & now have a 40/30 tiller jet) lol I'm 44 now. Good luck with your new boat!

    What's a good setup of an 18 foot jon boat

    Assuming you're going to run the Susquehannain and you wanna run fast and shallow in the summer or early duck or goose seasons here's my advice - if you have the $$ - get a rockproof and be done with it lol. If had the cash I would've. Lol To answer your question if it was mine I'd go forward...

    Transom height

    Thank you!

    Transom height

    I think the answer is 27- inches but need confirmation. What is the approximate transom height needed to run a long shaft outboard with a jet pump on it. What is it for a short shaft with a jet pump on it? Thanks in advance

    Cool videos. Amazing fuel economy!

    Convert 1660 to jet ?

    assuming ur rib runs the whole way to the transom you may need to remove about 12-inches of the center rib to make it flat. I'm guessing you could have that done for a couple hundred $$ by a local welder. Aside from that I think that hull would work nicely with a 60/40.

    New guy, same old questions

    Set her up right & a 15ft John should clip along nicely with a 50/35
