Message: <blockquote data-quote="Wood_Duck" data-source="post: 420492" data-attributes="member: 9599"><p>Been running OB jets for a long time but earlier this year I made a swap. Id been wanting a deep v hull for years and it's my favorite style boat to fish out of far beyond my jet hulls I had. However I've already learned to hate the 40hp prop on the boat and it's on prop #2 at less than 2 months old, lol. The boat is a Lowe FM160 tiller. I have heard people talking about jetting Lund SSV/Alaskan models before for running rivers up north but i can't find anything really about performance/setups. I know it won't go as shallow as my older purpose built jets of course but I'd have my peace of mind back for most waters and no prop/lower unit to hit. If I upgrade it would be for a 60/40 Mercury as 40 is the boats max rating. Anyone have experience with this? My biggest concern is the boat does have a full keel all the way to the back unlike my other boats so I'm not sure how that would disrupt water flow. The one jet I had which had a small less pronounced keel actually had less cavitation issues than my flat/tunnels.</p></blockquote><p></p>
