    Jet boats

    https://www.facebook.com/midwestjets/ I'm not sure what the smallest hull they will build is.

    Add tension to steering

    I'm not sure. I'll have to stick my head under the console and see if I can find some labeling and then I will let you know.

    Add tension to steering

    I have a no feedback system on my current boat and love it. Regardless of how much I bent that tab, my last boat would turn and head right for the bank in a hurry if I took my hands off the steering wheel while underway. Now I can be running WOT and the boat will continue going straight without...

    Looking at new boats

    I think an 1856 with a 150 with is a pretty good all around setup. My setup runs low 40s so I would imagine you could get mid 40s out of the narrower hull. I would love to have a 225ho or 250 on my rig, but I couldnt justify the extra money just to gain 8-10mph. With that said, my buddy has a...

    ? Which steering system

    My new boat came with a no feedback system. I love it! If I let go of the steering wheel while driving straight, it keeps going straight instead of spinning the wheel and running me towards a back. Also, no more bungee cords to keep the motor straight while hauling the boat. Not quite as good as...

    Man, you guys really hit the jackpot on the weather forecast! I hope we can be so lucky at the end of the month for the Gasconade Fun Run.

    I wish I didn't live 4 hours away. I'd love to come down and check out that section of river. I'll have to wait till the end of the month for the Gasconade Fun Run.

    Do I want a jet lower???

    If you want a cookie cutter bass boat style setup, then the Alweld and Legend SS are great boats. If you want something a bit more custom, I'd look in to Blazer. I'm running an 1860 Legend SS semi V with a 150/105 Etec as mentioned previously and love it. It will push me 39mph up the Gasconade...

    Running with a load

    My first rig was a 1648 with a 50/35 Yamaha 2 stroke and it would get over loaded pretty easily. Once I bumped up to an 1852 with a 115/80, I could plane out with three big guys, myself and my fiance and a generator without a problem. Now I am running an 1860 with a 150/105 and the extra torque...

    Punch for removing jet grates?

    With all the emissions crap on this new fuel tank setup they started putting in the 2014 models, I wouldn't be surprised if it has something to do with it.

    Punch for removing jet grates?

    I took it out and ran the boat after getting the grates straightened and the impeller sharpened from the top side. It jumped up on plane instantly and ran just like the day I brought it home. The only issue is the motor gave me fits trying to start when I went to leave! It would crank, but...

    Punch for removing jet grates?

    That was easy enough. I just used an allen wrench and rubber mallet to get them started and twisted them out with pliers.

    Punch for removing jet grates?

    I've never removed my grates before, but need to remove them and straighten them after a weekend of gravel grinding due to really low water conditions. Do I need a punch that's as wide as the jet foot to be able to remove the pins holding in the jet grates or does it give away after going in so...
