38-40mph with just me in it.

just wondering if anyone knows the weight of this boat and motor? best guess maybe? it's a Lowe 1760 with a 90/65hp jet.

just depends on your transom height.

too much V in my opinion.

i usually order directly from outboardjets.com with no complaints but i may take a look at jetdoctor next time to compare prices.

how are you liking it so far?

that's very nice!

welcome!

good luck on the build

good luck on the build!

i'd list it at $2000

thats alot of money.

thanks for the replies. i removed the pisser hose from the fitting on the engine and stuck an air hose in the end where it comes out of the cowling and sure enough a small pebble and some other junk came shooting out when i shot air in there. i don't know how that pebble made it all the way to...

thanks! when i run the hose through that lower fitting to flush out the cooling system do i need to worry about the water pressure in the hose? meaning can i just turn my hose on all the way do do i need to keep the water pressure lower? i would think since i am trying to flush it that the more...

thanks for the reply, that helps alot! :beer:

i went through some mud and sand and now my cooling system appears to be clogged. the water was barely coming out the spout so i changed the water pump impeller and that seemed to help a little but it still isn't flowing anywhere near what it should. i see there is a fitting down on the lower...

i know what you're saying and that is kinda funny. =D> i have a big boat if i need to impress people and i couldn't care less what anyone thinks about my jon boat, it's function over form when it comes to my river boat. btw you've got some great pictures in your project thread. :beer:

when you run rivers, speed is everything, i run long distances so it matters. if you put in and can see the spot you are headed to then it may be overrated. 98%? [-X not trying to start a pissing match but i'm a "regular" fisherman and an underpowered boat drives me nuts.

yea for running shallow that's enough power, just a pain if you have to do any long distance running. anything under 30mph is slow but for maneuvering that is as fast as you would want to go. if all you do is run shallow for reasonable distances you will be happy with the performance. what...

definitely a nice boat but it may be a little underpowered with a 60/40. price is relative and if your happy with the deal thats all that matters but in the price range you paid it should've had a 90/65. at any rate a G3 is a nice rig and it should be alot of fun.
