I annoyed a lot of folks on here about 2 years ago asking a million questions about Jet boats.... Well, I finally got one, have had it for a little over a year now and have since moved from Fl to Ohio.
It is a 2017 SeaArk 2072 FX Jet Tunnel with fwd console and 115/80 Yamaha.
36 Gallon Fuel tank up front, storage up front and an anchor locker all the way up front. The seat box for the console is an aerated live well ( I just use it for storage). In the back it has 1 cranking battery, 2 TM batteries, and 2 bilge pumps ( one for each side of the tunnel) and the aerator pump is back there too, plus room for storage. I have added an 80lb thrust MinnKota I Pilot TM and a small Lowrance GPS fishfinder and chartplotter with downscan. The flooring is Styx River Matting that matches the paint. It has 2 passenger seats that are removable and hook to a J Track on the rear deck and I installed the seat mount on the box for the console.
Runs about 30-31 mph wide open throttle, and can carry an insane amount of extra weight before there is any noticeable performance loss. I don't notice any speed or reduction in time to plane until I get about 600 or so extra lbs in the boat beyond my normal load of 2 people and gear.
At rest with no one in the boat it only drafts 4" at the lowest point of the transom. It will plane out in about 2 boat lengths. Only need about 14 inches of water depth to get on plane and it will run in 2".
I am very pleased with it after 1 year and 5 months of ownership. Ive had it 5 mi out in the ocean off Jacksonville FL and St Augustine and ran super shallow coastal stuff. Here in Ohio I have ran a few small rivers and super shallow lakes. It handles chop very well for a 3dg hull. I can run wide open in white caps by just trimming down a little. It will cavitate in big chop if I trim out too much.
It was a long time coming for me to get this boat but it was definitely worth the wait.
