[QUOTE="sambrent18, post: 187726, member: 5173"] Thanks guys, I looked at a better picture of the alwelds. They do have the ribs so yeah that would be kinda hard to do. The transom on the particular boat i'm looking at is 27" with a tunnel hull. I was thinking with the poor handling of a jet motor a prop motor on the lake would be better but you have a point (put a jet on it and leave it). The river is where I will fish and run 90 percent of the time anyway. I saw a wing or fin type setup on ebay that bolts to the jet foot to add more control as far as steering since the jet doesn't have a keel. I'm not looking to be a daredevil by any means, the rivers around here have alot of big rocks, shells and stumps so I'm gonna have to be careful. Really there is only one or two places that it gets real shallow say 3 to 4 inches for the most part its pretty good. I'm just doing some homework before I jump in and spend alot of money on a setup, I want it to be a good rig all around but like I said the river is where I'll be most of the time. Thanks again [/QUOTE]
