Jet boats

[fickell]

Who on here runs river jet boats ? What do you run for a boat and why?
I run a 21 foot with a 5.7 litre engine and a hami 212 pump 12deg. hull
I run all lakes big and small (where legal ) And med. to big rivers .Some times I wish it where smaller but the room is sweet.

18 ft. Marathon 120 lite .
gets me where I want to go, is light enough that it can be muscled around, and more than enough room for two guys and gear and a dog or two!.

Whenever you're around Edmonton, drop me a line. It would be my pleasure to take you for a cruise and of course, a little fishing!!

I run a 18 foot Hewes Craft with a 175 sportjet. Light, Fast, skinny water runner and a super great floor plan. Hewes Craft 18 footers by far have the most room out of any 18 footer !!!

I run a 24 ft marathon marine, 454, 400hp 500ft/lbs. Use it for fishin and running rivers. Awsome

I'm more inclined to the smaller, flatter adventure line. I have a 16 ft. Firefish Frenzy with a 200 HP Merc Sportjet. It does make you wonder occasionally how miserable life would be if it failed somewhere remote.









Smaller can be more fun occasionally

[catnthehat]

Yup, small cane be a whole bunch of " YAHOO"!!

On my 3 rd Jet boat, started off with a 1875 Harbercraft with a240 sport jet - used it for everything - great boat, went to an 08 22 ft Thunderjet Rio Classic with a 350 & Hamilton 212 - real nice boat - just 2 big for where I wanted to run 70 % of the time.

Now have a Harbercraft 1775 xtreme Duty with a 200 Opti Sportjet - 4 wheel drive of boats & great on fuel.

Bought a new Campion 602 B explorer for the big water, now I'm covered-or so I told the wife

[Joe Fehr]

16ft Outlaw Lynx with a 240SJ, small and agile for running those pesky little rivers the elk like to hang out on but big enough to still take the family out.

[gunslinger]

[Safety D]

[Skinnydipper]

Holy Bear Huntin' Barges there Gunslinger.....that's as big as the Queen Mary.....what a load!! You could put my boat in the front of that thing and take it out when you get a little closer to the headwaters of whatever river you're on!

[Pactman]
