Hello all,
I am looking for as much advice as possible to help me decide which boat I want to go with.
I have had the pleasure of looking at many different options in the northern midwest. Outboard jets, inboard jets, and have the pleasure of riding in both types. I have determined that an OB Jet is what I want.
I have heard of some issues with inboards with the sportjets. parts are always special order. the only way I would go with a IB would be if it had a vehicle motor.
I live in the northern midwest so jet boats are not to common accept for a few pleasure crafts and the few people who are lucky enough to get a jet up here. Seems that most options will be a transplant.
I have been fishing with a friend who has a lowe roughneck 1860 and really like the set up of his boat exception of the CC which it towards the back.
I mainly fish catfish and like the ability to have a very open boat. I have seen some mods where an 1872 seaark has had the console moved all the way forward to the front deck and really love that so it keeps the back of the boat wide open for gear and for the big fish if you get any.
I am looking for any advice on where to find a boat, should I buy new or used?
I want an 1860, 1872, 1966, 2072.
How hard is it to remove a cc that is towards the rear and move it all the way foward? Would dealers do this for me upon request? Or would I be better off building a custom boat? I want to keep it under 18-20K
Jet Tunnel vs. no tunnel? Pros or cons?
Right now If I were to buy brand new I am looking at Lowe Frontier 1860 or 2072. Crestliner retriever 2072, Alumnacraft 2072
