This may interest you river guys, in a car crash sort of way:
I took a 1997 18' Bass Tracker with 90 Sportjet, added a 2" elevated tunnel. Put HardLine on the bottom. Replaced engine with 120hp SJ. Took it on the river, was in love with how it ran/performed, but then nailed an underwater rock (same thing that got me into this project) , ripped a hole in the bottom, and sunk it (but in shallow water, so no water damage). Conclusion: The 0.100" thick hull is just too thin to hit rocks.
