I was having the same problem with my 40/30 Yamaha. It ended up being a small stick stuck in the area where the water shoots out. Once I removed it everything went back to normal Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I run a 4 stroke Yamaha 40/30. It's probably quiet for a jet, but it's still pretty loud. I don't think any jet is going to be particularly quiet.

Gar, I haven't measured but I feel like it drafts around 4 inches with 2 people and gear. Dime, jet tunnels are not an option on this boat. The wait time was right around 3 months. I don't have a good pic of the interior but you can check out the website www.hogislandboatworks.com to see...

It rows OK. It's rows well enough to back row and keep straight against the current and make some maneuvers. It's not something I would try and row through technical waters though. I use it to chase stripers in a local lake near me and it does well. Outboard jets are not the best for lake use...

I haven't done an exact calculation but about $16,000. That includes the boat, trailer, oars and accessories, motor with extended warranty and shipping to Charlotte. I ran the boat again on Sunday and am very pleased with how it performs. It tops out around 25-26 MPH and jumps on plane in...

It was $800. Not to bad

I had mine shipped to Charlotte NC. I looked hard at the the towee. What ended up swaying me to the hog was what it is made of. I don't have to worry about damaging the boat itself. I'll be out again in out Sunday and will let you know how she does

I just picked up a new Hog Island SW16 skiff with a Yamaha 40/30 jet. For those of you that don't know about these boats they are made out of the same material as a Yeti cooler. Lightweight, quiet, and virtually indestructible. The boat will be used for river fishing. I got it set up with...

It's a flat bottomed boat

I have a inboard jet jon. If I could do it all over again I would get a outboard jet. The inboard has very few advantages (in my opinion) to an outboard

I have heard the Yamaha jets are close to bulletproof. Looking at purchasing a 40/30 in the future. Hope you guys get your issues resolved!

No tunnel here and get through the shallows mostly fine

Fellow Carp addict!

I guess it would depend. Have you talked to a marine mechanic about your Johnson? I'm sure a rebuild could be done for drastically less than the new Tohatsu is.

Very nice!
