    JON BOAT TUNNEL DESIGN/ EXTENSION

    Look up Ott Defoe River boat on YouTube if you don’t know what I’m talking about. He has a pretty cool river boat with a prop and a huge tunnel.

    Center Console Cable Route

    For the guys who have moved your center console behind the front deck and had to route your throttle and steering cables how did you route them? Through the floor or along side the gunnel? I’m thinking through the floor of my 1754 grizzly might be hard to do with it being such an angle once it...

    Jet motor trim angle?

    Yeah I’ve seen ya on there before with your jet boat in the boat section. I’m GSPdude7. Small world. I’m finally starting my back deck extension to cover the splash well area and front console build now so I’ll be doing a lot of tweaking to the jet foot angle and height. By chance do you...

    Jet motor trim angle?

    Nice! I guess I’ll just have to run it Tuesday like this and see how she performs. Need to make a spray plate anyways. Thanks for your help!

    Jet motor trim angle?

    Yes I’m talking about the trim holes And not the motor height. It’s in the last trim hole of this mercury. It’s tucked pretty good. I’ve been fishing in the lakes here lately since all the rain has blown the rivers out. I don’t recall an porpoising even coming off plane like my bass boat did. I...

    Jet motor trim angle?

    Have a 1754 Mvx tracker grizzly with a 60/40 on it. It runs great at 27-28 topped out which is plenty for me on the river. My question is I’ve been playing with the trim angle and just moved the motor to the last trim hole. It looks to be very tucked in close to the transom. It was set to the...

    Flotation pods? Do they help?

    Yeah just trying to get this motor closer to the transom. It runs like a top now but I know it will run better with not much setback. I have almost no spray with this jack plate. Just seems like the boat is back heavy.

    anyone seen these boats?

    These boats are built in my home town and these are one hell of a boat! Check out all their youtube videos. I've seen multiple out on the water and they look bad ***! If I ever have the money they will be making me one!

    Flotation pods? Do they help?

    Seems like I might need to wait. I have a 5" CMC manual jack plate and going with the CMC 5" vertical riser next year. Just makes more sense to wait and do everything at the same time. But I will be buying them first thing when the time comes

    Mercury Big Tiller Handle.

    Has anyone bought the steering cables or hydraulic ones for a newer 60/40 Mercury? What part number or which one would I need?

    Flotation pods? Do they help?

    Kind of seems like adding them really won't hurt anything from what I've been reading. Most people say that if installed properly with a half an inch above the bottom of the boat or however you install them you won't see much top end lost. Plus the boat does feel a little bow high while running...

    Flotation pods? Do they help?

    Bought a 1754 Tracker with a 60/40 Merc on it and it runs 30 mph just by myself. I came from the bass boat world where my skeeter had literally no hole shot it seemed. Thinking of adding some floatation pods to the back to help it get on plane. I feel like the boat planes pretty good but I think...

    Mercury Big Tiller Handle.

    Bought a mercury 60/40 and it runs great. Only thing is is that I hate having to reach for the ignition and gear shift on the standard tiller handle. When I purchased it I never once looked to see if they had a big tiller like the yammies. After seeing how much they're online I thought about...
