Just picked up my first jet jon yesterday. Was all set to pull the trigger on an E-tec and Polarkraft, but then I found a Weldbilt dealer relatively close by and one in-person look at them taught me a lot about jon boats. Also, all I heard was negativity about the E-tecs from friends who have a lot of experience running outboard jets that I know and trust. I really wanted one, but everyone said Yamaha, Yamaha, Yamaha, so I bought a Yamaha. Went with a 60/40. That's a 1656 Weldbilt flat bottom, flat front with the 48" casting deck.
Now to get the fab shop down the street to build me a rower's seat box and I'm going to install oar lock blocks and Dierks anchor system. Hopefully get it registered tomorrow and on the water Tuesday evening.
