I picked a 1756 Lowe roughneck with a 60/40 jet. Never running a boat with a jet I researched a lot and talked to a few guys in my area with them. I'm in Washington state and I purchased the boat for running the cowlitz and the lewis ( shallow water in areas ) for salmon and steelhead fishing. I talked to the few guys I seen at the river with similar style boats that I wanted to buy before the purchase and they had nothing but good things to say. So I told my wife I'm buying a new boat and did. I had it on the lakes with my wife and we had a great time. I took it to the river and going up river I had a really hard time getting on plane fast. I got no help from the dealer I bought the boat from and not good suggestions just try standing on top of the bench seat  to see over the bow until it planes. I did jot try that and it sounded like a great way to get hurt and hurt my wife if I fell off the back of the boat in a river running the tiller control trying to see over the bow.</p></blockquote><p></p>
