Here she is. I was thinkin if I can't get a good trade with Fred I'll probably post it around this area for bout $3000 that would give me some room to negotiate. It needs new seat and a little work done on the trailer to kinda stiffen it up cause it sags a bit in the middle.

I'll try and post some pics tomorrow when I get in.

Thanks guys, you're right its a big hassel selling something can't depend on people to be here or when they say they'll take it and never come back. I never considered trading it in but the trailer isn't really road worthy for a 10hr ride to Fred's place. Thought about having the new one...

I have a 14ft flatbottom jon with a 85 evinrude 30hp with jet foot. Thinking about selling it to put money towards a new alweld from Fred at current river. I dont really know what to price it at because you dont see a whole lot of jets in this area (Kingsport,TN). Looking for any ideas or...

Well it's a 30 powerhead so i'm loosin some ya know. It pushes real good when it runs right still tweakin it a little. That's kinda my deal is when i'm by myself it rides nose high more than i like which i understand cause all the weight in the back. That's why i'm wanting to move alot of...

I've got a 85 evinrude jet 30hp

Sorry for not adding that. I ran it on the water for a little while. Its got fresh gas in it as well.

I'm thinking about cutting out the 2 bench seats in my 14/36 jet jon and putting down foam between the ribs and aluminum on top with carpet over that. I want to get all the weight to the front as much as possible. I was wondering if i can put the fuel tank up front and build a small deck over...

I have a 85 evinrude 30 hp with jet foot. I ran it yesterday getting ready for spring. It seemed to bog down after a little runnign took the hood off and it ran wide open just fine. There was alot of exhaust coming from it and I could feel the heat from the motor. I'm wondering if it could...

I've got an 85 evinrude 30 horse with a jet foot. It runs fine for a while then all of a sudden its like you turn it half throttle and boggs down. Any ideas why this would happen?

Thanks guys, I just wanted to get some opinions and advice. I live in East TN and will probably go pick it up myself when I get ready to buy. I'm pretty confident this is what I'm looking for and its worth the trip versus having it shipped to me or buying from a local dealer.

Called Fred at Current River hes got a good price on an alweld 1652JC with a 60/40 Jet. I was just wanting some opinions on whether or not this is gonna be a good boat. Most of the time it will be just me and a buddy fishing the river not alot of weight and stuff but from time to time might be...

Yep thats it, I really appreciate the pictures, that explains everything. Mine just has a piece of rod with two 90 bends in it then held on with carter keys. I need to get me some threaded rod and i bet that would fix my problem. I would be able to adjust it then. Hey I really do appreciate it

Hi, I've got an 85 evinrude 30 hp outboard that has been converted to a jet motor. When I bought the motor it had the throttle cable and forward and reverse cable with the control box. I'm wanting to take all that off for now and use it as a tiller handle but when I unhook the shift cable from...

Thanks Lil' Blue You wouldn't happen to have any pics of your setup you could post would ya. I was planning on making it pretty rigid with a square tubing frame then putting 1/8 inch sheet over that. I wasn't really thinking of having to adjust it which shows you how much I know. I was gonna...
