[QUOTE="handyandy, post: 446657, member: 18942"] Getting rid of the now useless dams would benefit the habitat and fish of those rivers, but would make them only jet accessible. It's shallow through mammoth for the most part except at the very down stream end of the park where you get closer to one of the dams, but all the area I went through would be doable in a jet jon. If you mostly want to run those rivers, I'd say go for a jet it would be well suited to them, and open up a lot more opportunities for you on them. I think your boat would be fine with a jet, as far as the long handle goes I'm standing most the time I'm running mine for a better few of whats coming up. I need to make a grab bar handle for mine for running standing up. Biggest thing will be figuring out what height and angle the engine likes to run on your boat. Depending on your transom angle you might need transom wedges you might not. But I think a 60/40 would suite your boat fine. You will probably see upper 20's most the time, might drop down to mid 20's with the kids and wife in it. [/QUOTE]
