who all is from southeast mo?

Quacker: not speaking for all, but most guys that have jet boats around here have to be decently skilled operators. Knowing their boats size, power, and trim capabilities.

My boat has a sweet spot where she will scoot.

Its usually those exposed v8 jet boats that run around spraying a huge rooster tail.

Hey Semo,I don't think Quacker was berating us jet guys.I think he was pointing out thatthe Outboard jets don't produce that huge 60ftlong X 15ft high rooster tail that the monster prop motors produce. There are a lot of big motor fiberglass boats on KY Lake. When they are at full song you can see the roostertail long before you can see the boat.From a distance the boat looks like a little spec in front of the massive roostertail.

I think my confusion got lost in the shuffle. But still kinda unsure about the 40 hp limit.

I have a 90 horse, so i can run into van buren?

 

[Quackrstackr]

Yeah. I agree. I will put in in doniphan but i try to avoid it. Unfortunately having a 90 hp i cant run into van buren.

You can actually run into van buren and 2 miles above. Hp restrictions don't apply to 2 miles above and below a city limit.

According to this, you can. .. I think.

No slam against you jet guys. You can just tell a jet outboard from a prop outboard from a long way off. The roostertail between the two are completely different (and a lot of you have really high transoms for those jets that are also not seen around here).

 

[semojetman]

its cool quake.

Text is easily taken wrong since you dont get to hear the persons tone to determine scarcasm, truthfulness,etc.

But yeah, totally different roostertail.
And an outboard jet has a totally different roar.

Hey semojetman, U can run to the spring with ur 90, just a 100 or so yards past the spring is where the 40 hp limit comes in and the last time I saw the posted sign it was very small, brown and up in the bushes !!!!! they dont want for u too see it !!!! :shock:

 

[semojetman]

thanks riverracer.

That is how I believed it to be, but then it was mentioned about some city limits, above and below, and I wasnt sure what they were talking about.

thanks again

 

[turne032]

you can run up to the spring, or well to the hp limit sign.

you can also run two miles above and below the bridge in Van Buren on the Current, and Eminence on the Jacks Fork River. The national park service does own the riverways in the city limits of towns. Therefore they can not enforce the hp limit law.

the spring is more than two miles below the bridge so their will be a hp limit between the sign at the spring and the two mile below bridge marker.

hope it helps

Hey we need to get together and make a run up to VB this summer, my new boat will be ready in about a month if everything goes good !!!! #-o

 

[Lil' Blue Rude]

I've been to VB once this year because my buddy wanted me to go with him and I'll never do it again, I wouldn't own a boat if that's where I had to run. TOO many tubers and I thought the canoes were ignorant, i was running about half to 3/4throttle most of the time when I went by tubes and I gave them plenty of room. When I come back down river a couple of teenage girls got the bright idea to chuck a hand full of rocks at me, they're luck nothing come close to hitting use. I got out of that mess and put the boat on the trailer.
My saying until the day I die is "Van Buren is NOT!!! hot boat freindly"

From Fenton here. I run the Meramec from George Winter up through Times Beach a lot, run the Meramec out in Cuba, MO but the floaters are crazy out there this time of year, I also run the Missouri from Weldon Springs to Washington. Big river near Desoto occasionally. All of us Missouri guys should get together at a mid point river and go for a cruise. That would be fun if we can all schedule it.

 

[fender66]

I'm in.......I hope. Calendar is filling up quickly this year! #-o

Ran the Meramec last Sunday from Geo. Winter to the Mississippi. No fishing though...just out for a ride.

BTW....I live in Fenton.

 

[riverracer]

Lil' Blue Rude, Where did all of this happen ? was it around the bridge? if I go I can only go to the spring, cause I know the water patrol would have a field day with me ! AS for the dim-wits throwing the rocks, u should have introduced them to ur little water gun !!!!! LOL

 

[Lil' Blue Rude]

I put in at the bridge and I run up. I'd loved to jet them but like I said nothin hit the boat or my buddy and me. If it wasn't in the middle of a shallow spot I would have turned around idled back up and asked what I did to deserve that. I just kinda laughed at the whole thing and went on. I figured I wouldn't have any problems taking my boat down there since my buddy all ways talks about the "fast boats" :roll: that run in Van Buren. My boat was the hot boat that weekend and my boat was the one being hated on. I wasn't getting close to anyone and I wasn't flying by people wide open, I guess since it's lowd they assume it's wide open :?:

I'm game! Would sure like to meet some of the jet boaters from this site.
