Sorry to leave yall hanging so long on the build fellas. Shortly after my last post I started getting sick and was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes. That kind of brought progress to a hault but I'm back in full force and should have some new work pics up in the next few days. Gotta get her...

Trust me the thought of getting rid of the jet made my stomach turn. Im pumped about seeing it run. I had a suggestion on my build thread to slot the jp a little more which should give me the 3/4" I think I need. Got my fingers crossed. While ive got yalls attention what kind of speed do yall...

smart thinking brother! I might can get 3/4" but that's all I should need hopefully. Ive got the front decks made and mounted up. Taking a hefty load of summer classes and working close to 40 hours a week is slowing me down more than I'd like. All she likes is some 5200 over a few old...

When I replaced the transom I thought long and hard about building a raised transom, but I fish the tn river and wanted the option to swap the foot off for a prop whenever I decide to fish the grass on Guntersville. Water test will be Wednesday so we'll see. If it doesn't run I may make a...

Im afraid you might be right but thats as high as she'll go. It could use a half an inch or so to get it perfect. Im hoping that it decides to run where its at so I don't have to make a riser to go on the jackplate. If all else fails ill sell the foot and buy a regular lower unit. Water test...

Ive finally started my jet build https://www.tinboats.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=21&t=34716 I mounted my cmc jackplate as high as possible on the transom and then mounted the outboard as high as I could on that. Ive done some research and found that putting a straight edge on the bottom of the...

Thanks guys I appreciate the kind words. Im Kinda torn on what camo to use. Im thinking something along the lines of digital or urban. What say yall?

Sorry for the all the multiple post, I'm just figuring out posting pictures to forums. This is how the boat sits now. I decided to Truck Bedliner the rear deck, rails, and console for some added protection. Got the floors down and the some hydroturf on them. There's a little bit of overspray...

I been keeping an eye on your build and I love it! You're right about that, this boat's a tank for it's size. I'm hoping that the 40/30 pushes it ok, the old force 40 with a beat prop would do 29-31. Shooting for 25 out of this, but not really sure what to expect, I've never even seen a jet...

Hey ya'll I've been a huge fan of the site and spent countless hours reading before I started my build. My boat is a 1980ish 1644 Monark flatbotom jon, I'm the third generation of my family to own this boat so it means alot to me, since I've been fishing off this boat before I could walk. The...
