    Power tilt & trim vs gas assist

    Sounds like gas assist is not an option anyway oo it's power for me plus I know that four stroke outweighs your two. I'm glad riverbottom clarified that caused it struck me as opposite too till I read his reasoning. How many of you guys are using aftermarket poly shoes and can you still get...

    Power tilt & trim vs gas assist

    With gas assist and not having a tiller to help with pulling on a 60/40 Merc is tilting up to clean the grate a bear? Can you do it just by pulling on the cowling or is that too much work too often on some rivers where stuff gets clogged often? I like the idea of the motor kicking up but not...

    2016 model 40 HP Merc vs E-TEC

    I just found out the 40 ETec is for a 27" transom and the 40 Merc is for a 20 I guess that about does it. Merc it will be. Is there any reason to look at this 35 vs. the 40 Merc? https://www.tohatsu.com/outboards/35jet_spec.html

    2016 model 40 HP Merc vs E-TEC

    I've been wanting a jet for some time and it's hard to know what to get. On one hand bigger and faster is better but most of my best spots are full of huge rocks, shallow and remote and I don't plan on running them fast given the hazards and won't be running long ways....20 miles round trip at...

    Does a 90/65 on a 1648 lowe make me an idiot?

    Let a fella know if you are going to be unleashing that beast up by Angler's in the next month as I might be in a canoe around the bend and don't wanna go swimmin' :mrgreen:

    New Skiff with Outboard Jet

    Interesting rig. What was the wait time? Could you post a pick of the interior and also how far the jet foot goes below the hull? I assume a jet tunnel hull was not an option? Was pedestal seating an option and a bracket for a bow mount trolling motor?

    Need an education on trailer for 14' jon boat

    I will be buying new and it's mainly freshwater. It may or may not spend time in the garage. I'm wanting to know things like wheel size, quality bearings, lights (what kind) corrosion treatments, etc. for a 14 foot jon. I have no idea what to look for or ask for other than I've read most come...

    Need an education on trailer for 14' jon boat

    I need to know what to look for in a trailer bought new. I don't want to be one of those guys you see broke down on the side of the highway :mrgreen: I plan on either a 1442 or 1448 and maybe a 9.9 outboard. What about tire size and brand? Painted or galvinzed..or both? Bearings? Are...

    Who makes the best 14 foot jon boat?

    This is really bugging me trying to remember where I saw ( or maybe just dreamed it) but does anyone know a line of jon boats that has a mod-V hull below the water line except the above water part of the front looks like a squared off flat bottom. It gives a better ride in rough water and...

    Who makes the best 14 foot jon boat?

    Jamie, Do you remember that PA boat that was on riversmallies that had a 25 merc jet mounted on an Alumacraft Crappie jon with a marina modified transom up to 20? I loved that rig. I think he fished the Susky, but I forgot his handle. Albeit, I think he mostly fished solo.

    Been busy and I'm in the middle of refinancing the house at 4.25 percent and since the deal is so good, I figured I would treat myself take out some extra cash and find a nice boat this winter. Not sure exactly what I want----just know I don't want anything over 14 feet.

    Who makes the best 14 foot jon boat?

    Thanks for the link. I had found them early this summer and kinda worried about them being 12 hours away and all. I guess I could go to https://www.akmccallum.com/ and pay top dollar but save a lot of driving from N.C. There is no one perfect boat and that suxs, but it's life. I'll figure...
