Canada? Time of year? Location? Details, man!

Dang......now I'm jealous! Nice report!

https://www.jamesriverjets.com/ Contact Jim Starkey at the above link. He has been gluing UHMW for a couple of years now. I have heard of it coming loose on some of his boats but I don't know all of the details. Dave

Off The Water Maintenance/Repairs : To flush the motor, there is a 3/8" stainless bolt head on the LH side just below the juncture of the motor's midsection & where it bolts to the jet lower unit. This is a flushing fitting hole. Mercury sells a flushing adapter that uses a 3/8" National...

I can't speak for other RiverPro owners but I debated long and hard as to which console style to go with when I had mine built and it all came down to having the room to lay down multiple rods on the front deck. With a DSC you seem to be limited to laying them across the width of the boat in...

I just bought a new Les Baer Monolith Comanche and added new VZ carbon fiber grips to it......Now I can't wait until I get a chance to put this through the paces and start slinging some lead! This is not going to be a safe queen.....it will be carried and shot a lot.

Oh boy....this is gonna get good! Lil' Blue.....don't go spouting off about someone that you know nothing about. Just because he is a newbie to this site doesn't mean he knows nothing about jet boats. I'll leave it at that.

FYI.....the new RiverSmallies is up and running as of today. Dave

Get yourself some of these: https://www.cci-ammunition.com/products/detail.aspx?use=3&loadNo=0038 Pellet guns make more noise than these. The neighbors won't even hear the report. (Don't ask me how I know) :twisted:

Come on dude....there are several members on this site with boats that will run in water that shallow. Mine is one of them. Just by spending a little bit of time playing around on youtube will prove that it can be done. If you ever get to the Harrisburg, Pa area I will prove it to you myself! Dave

OP, It seems to me you did the right thing by trimming your motor down but did the wrong thing by raising your jack plate. Raising the jack plate caused your motor to suck air and cavitate. I could be wrong as every boat is different but with that big 175 hanging off the back end you should...

Definately not a RiverPro. I have one....a LoPro model....I honestly believe my boat is CAPABLE of doing this, but there is no way in **** would I subject a $30,000+ boat to this kind of abuse! With the get up and go this boat has it is definately an inboard jet. Wonder how many bottles of...

Kory, I remember your build from the old RiverSmallies forum. I remember your build all the way throughout the process. AND, I remember how bummed you were when you put that first dent in it after your rebuild! If I remember correctly didn't you have a previous build of another boat on the...

I thought I posted mine in this thread before, but I guess not. (getting old sucks :LOL2: ) 2010 RiverPro LoPro 186 with a 200 hp sportjet.
