maybe something a bit better for jet boating then the mississippi

does anybody jet boat on any of the rivers big or small in western TN ? i will be in the area in a week or 2 and looking to do some jet boating in local rivers while i am in the area .

when you say inboard merc 200 are you talking about a 200hp sportjet ? if so then yes it will move a boat that size if its total weight is not to heavy. they are a 2 stroke so fuel burn rates will still be high and you will be using alot of 2 stroke oil.

well if you went to an inboard then the power could be a lot better and burn less fuel

we take an inboard jet out on the lake to break up the ice every spring . good way to get rid of that cabin fever :D https://youtu.be/Cq0yBsEFzwU

not to sure on $ amounts yet we are going to build up 2 and see where the price comes in at for a finished turn key boat we do plan to offer them in a kit form also from just the bare hull to complete kit which would have hull,engine,jet pump,helm,cables,gauges,seats and fuel cell what will be...

done right it will work very well done a few of them with this engine and they would push along at 31-32 mph wot with the guys in the boat

yep made it back up again this time with a cpl chainsaws and got some of the log jams cleared out enough to make it up river a few more miles. this trim we ran into a few elk on the trip back down river

we were running the st regis river in western montana and ran into a few log jams . looks like we will need to go back up with a cpl chainsaws and do a little clearing up on the river so we can get back to doing some good jet boating and fishing https://youtu.be/vIOIKPiwcsU
