Been running OB jets for a long time but earlier this year I made a swap. Id been wanting a deep v hull for years and it's my favorite style boat to fish out of far beyond my jet hulls I had. However I've already learned to hate the 40hp prop on the boat and it's on prop #2 at less than 2 months...

About 3 months ago, I bought a brand new 1436 Alumacraft with plans to do a jet jon swap with a Polaris jetski I had. Just before starting the chopping process though I learned that two of the main places I bought the boat to use are electric only so that kinda shot that plan in the foot. Since...

Haven't saw a similar setup but needing a 60/40 for a 1652 hull. Don't want Mercury because even given the large pump and SS impeller it ain't no Yamaha. I'd rather trade the bigger pump for long term reliability. Sadly Yamaha don't offer a 15" shaft 60/40. So I'd have the tiller handle up...

I'm in the process of building a jet jon which will involve me grafting part of the jetski into a new alumacraft hull. The rivers I will be running will have some rocks and boulders, nothing giant, but while the boat is going to be flipped doing the graft I was considering ordering some 1/8-1/4"...

yesterday i finished stripping my donor jet ski down and will be cutting the hull soon. For those who have grafted the pump/tunnel/motor mount section from your donor ski into an aluminum hull, what is the best way to go about? epoxy, glass, hardware, mixture of all 3? After an exhaustive search...

So I've gotten a 1994 Polaris SL750 jet ski I acquired last year and I'm gonna start on my project soon. Around here finding a used jonboat has been rather difficult to do on the cheap. For example locally some guy has a 30ish year old 1232 hull and wants $900. I can get a brand new Alumacraft...

So I had been planning on getting a new Blazer hull and reusing my current motor, but talking to a friend who owns one of the local boat stores last week, I was offered a deal that was too good to pass up and ended up trading in my whole rig and I bought a brand new SeaArk RXJT180 with 90/65...

My current 1546 Lowe Roughneck has been good to me but I find myself hauling more people with me and with 3 larger adults it cannot get on plane. It's right on the edge but just not quite there. My other big issue is with 3-4 people the boat is crazy cramped, even without gear and id like to...

I took these intake fins off my 30/25 Mercury fourstroke when i upgraded motors. Still in good shape. I have one of the threaded rods for mounting, missing one but it's just a threaded rod you can get at any hardware store. $50 shipped. For fastest reply email [email protected]

2014 model with dead grass green paint and I need a match. I called the dealer and they just have it by the quart. Said OD green spray paint was a perfect match for it but I've saw several different shades called OD green. Anyone know of a true spray can match for it?

Those with spray shields on a non tunnel hull, how are yours mounted and what /design/dimensions? Getting pods welded on next week and ended up ordering a new yamaha and with it being a tiller, I'm gonna finally add a spray shield. Just curious what do go with on it. Pics even better to show the...

Had to remove because of installing flotation pods. Works great. $110 shipped

Pricing is close on these two motors. It will be repowering a 1546 all welded which currently has a 30/25 merc. With myself (240#), 24v terrova, 6gal tank, and fishing gear it struggles at 16.5-17. Add second 200ish lb adult and it can't full plane off and plows at around 9-11mph. Two people...

I currently run a 1546 Roughneck with 30/25 4stroke Merc. I'm planning on upgrading to a 60/40 although it's rated for a 25hp. I'm good on insurance but looks like with the exception of mercury everyone just offers a 60 with 20" shaft. In the event I go with say yamaha, I'd be forced to either...

I'm about to order a set of small beavertail pods for my 1546 OBjet. I'm wondering however, where I will mount the transducer with pods added to the hull. Not to mention my boat buckles, now that I think about it. How do you guys have them set up?

I've got a 1546 all welded Lowe which currently has its max rated 30/25. I knew it would be slow going into it but I had thought I could upgrade as I go. My initial plans have been add pods, brace transom abit, and get a new 60/40. However I'm now considering a jetjon conversion and considering...

Who makes a solid tiller extension around 3-5ft? I'm running a Minn Kota right now but I feel like its going to break just turning the motor and barely fits the handle on my Mercury. I havent found any that have consistent good reviews on them and most seem very flimsy.

I've heard of people contacting either a manufacturer or coast guard and getting a new capacity plate with higher ratings before but i'm not sure how accurate it is. My reason for asking is, I have a 1546 Lowe with 30/25 jet. It's max rated for only 25 which may be fine with a prop, but not with...

I'm thinking of having a u style standup bar made for my Lowe tiller jet. I have never used one but the added safety and visibility obtained standing while running, especially shallow seems fantastic. If I do I'll likely use a seperate base so I can remove it if or when needed. Are they worth...

Its not going to be a rapid build due to finances but I have procured an SL750 jet ski to lend itself to a jet Jon. I'm having trouble deciding the hull route though being on a budget. Initial plans are a new 1542 alumacraft which can be had for $1200. 1448s will run me more around $1600+. I can...
