Hey guys. I am looking to put together a small lightweight Jet boat this summer. I have a 2072 SeaArk that is awesome, but just to big for some of these little creeks I want to run. I want to keep it as small and lightweight as possible so I can unload it from the side of the road into a...

I annoyed a lot of folks on here about 2 years ago asking a million questions about Jet boats.... Well, I finally got one, have had it for a little over a year now and have since moved from Fl to Ohio. It is a 2017 SeaArk 2072 FX Jet Tunnel with fwd console and 115/80 Yamaha. 36 Gallon Fuel...

60/40 Merc will be fine on that Grizzly. And carry a decent load. Plenty of guys running 60/40's on much bigger and heavier hulls. Plus depending on laws in Ky you will be illegal with the 90/65, and the extra weight of the 90/65 will make you squat a little more in the back especially since...

Curious as to how much room you have behind the rear bench for fuel tanks, batteries, bilge pump, etc. Is there room for a 12 gallon tank and 3 batteries plus 2 bilge pumps? Im considering this boat or a seaark 1872 but with fwd storage area and a fwd console and jet tunnel. Similar to h20hawgs...

At some pt the extra weight hanging off the back has got to cause an issue. Im all for big HP but a 500lb 200+ hp motor on a 1860.. So much for all the advice about "keep it light". Alot of guys running 1852 with a 60/40 just fine. As an example... Lowe, G3, and Xpress all have a Max HP...

The new MVX hulls have more deadrise than the old tracker jons. I believe they are 8° now. The pics look like it may cause issues with a jet foot. Something to look into.

Did you get the pods on the back and have you GPS'd it to see what top speed is?

I have a 2002 G3 1756 that I take to Horseshoe beach ALOT. fishing and duckhunting. just watch the rocks! There are tons of guys running alum boats and airboats there.

You stole my boat!!! Awesome! I spoke with them last year about that exact setup. I love the fwd console especially on a 2072! Looking fwd to hearing how it performs. I talked to a dealer in Ocala,FL about one set up with fwd console, pods, fwd storage and fuel tank just two weeks ago and...

Awesome...I love that u run the salt.

Awesome. Thank you Heathyoung. Been going back and forth with the G3 or a SeaArk 2072. You may have just made up my mind for me. Hard to find any decent reviews on the G3's or any videos about them. Let alone since they upped HP rating to 115/80.

This is what 4 people plus decoys and gear look like in a 1756... Not sure Id wanna try 4 in anything much smaller.

Heathyoung.... What speed are you getting with the 115/80. How shallow will she run, and have you had any cavitation issues, and do you have any dislikes about ur G3?

Look at Tohatsu. They make a 25 and a 35 jet. 2 strokes! 35 is a 50 powerhead and the 25 is a 40 powerhead. Either one is lighter than any 4 stroke out there. I kno ur not concerned.... but with a 25hp that has a 40 powerhead ur still legal and with the lighter weight prob much better...
