[QUOTE="shallowminedid, post: 276870, member: 7733"] my opinion is thicker the hull the better, even if u dont run the rapids u may still hit a rock or gravel bar from time to time.better to be safe than sorry. plus with the .070 i hear uhmw is rough to add cuz its hard for a screw to hold. the sierra is only rated for 35 hp so maybe a 50/35? jack plate should work mines jacked up like 9 inches i think. i had a prop first fished mostly lakes now i got the jet i can go anywhere and i mean anywhere. unless your into tornaments i wouldnt even bother with a prop, jets wont get ya there first but theyll take ya places other cant go. my 60/40 does 30 mph on a heavy heavy 17 footer. i can take it to the river thats a foot and a half or i can take it to the huge lakes and still beat other bass boats. was even thinking about getting a tube.
