Thanks for the jet boat tips I will be going out soon on the Sandy river for my first steelhead trip of the year in my used 16' Smokercraft sled with a 90hp Mercury jet pump motor.

I use that ramp quite a bit. Beautiful area. Thanks for the video.

Best tip of this video was how to properly hitch the boat trailer to the truck. I've been doing wrong all these years.

Just came across your page , nice to see a local give some awesome advice. I’m from the area too and saving up for my jet boat that I really want. I used to have a bayliner prop boat but sold it many years ago and now missing the water like crazy . When I get mine maybe we link up and head out to the water . I live about a mile from the Potomac.

Do you use a spot lock trolling motor? Or are you anchoring?

Those east coast rivers are tough.

You did a great job on that video my friend I’m wanting to purchase a jet drive Kit for my 90 Yamaha uveitis on a 17 G3 hopefully I can get 28 mph it does 40 with two people and 3 heavy batteries getting ready to replace with lithium batteries soon seeing what you think 👍

Greetings and thanks for the video information. I just thought of a crucial decision-making question. But first let me give you some entail of the weight set-up/distribution in the boat: It has a heavy (130 lb give or take) 25 Horsepower Mercury Jet drive 2-Stroke Outboard, AGM Gel Optimum Bluetop cranking battery, and (185 lb) me in the back of the jon boat The front has a 55 lb thrust Motorguide (about 30+ lbs) trolling motor, two heavy Duracell deep cycle batteries, a 5.5 gallon fuel tank, a couple of anchors (37 lbs total ), etc. (And eventually I may add front and rear decking) I thought to put Nauticus trim tabs on my 14 foot jon boat to help it come on plane even better. But if I install the trim tabs, will the stern/transom be raised too high out of water and cause too much air to get sucked in the intake of the jet drive?? The white caps/big chop I endured last night coming across the main lake doing 19 mph made me think about this!!😆😅

Great video

I’ve got a 16ft bass tracker with a Mercury 2 stroke 35hp. Deck and all is aluminum, do you think I would be extremely unhappy converting it to a jet with my current powerhead? I can pick the jet up cheap to convert it vs finding a 60/40 or the like. Thanks in advance

Most of what you have there are shelves, the big question would be have you ever had your boat down on the lower Monocacy, from the aquaduct up past the 28 bridge?

Hi i am new to boat do i absolutely need a tunnel hull for a jet outboard?

Where did you get the boat? I’m looking for a jet drive river boat to fish the Potomac too

Summer the river levels get low out here in Ohio. So I bought an airboat an old air boat 350 Chevrolet engine direct drive to the 72 inch propeller.... and it's bad ass It I'lll take you smooth up stream and so an 8th of an inch of water is you'll need on plane. to wear a kayak or a canoe drags on the bottom... And literally have to get out to move the boat to deeper water.. no problem with an airboat...

Nice

Just got my 17’ tracker with a jet and my stomping grounds is the upper Potomac from dargans to whites ferry. you been catchin anything lately? been real slow the past couple months!

This is a great video man thank you!

Thanks for the tips. I have a jet and learning how to navigate the Susquehanna her in PA. Trial and error.

Hey. I have a super basic question. Do you do replies?

Excellent video! New to your channel

I have a 1648 alumacraft can i go with a 40hp Jet outboard or it would be too big of a motor

Id suggest getting a canoe for 10 years and learn how to read a river. Then start with a 40 or 60 hp jet rig.

NC?

You talk but say nothing. Depth finder useless at 2 ft or less. Yes I do fish the river almost every day, Dargan all the way up. Many dos & donts !

What river are you on

I don't understand why anyone would want to run a propeller driven boat. A jet may go over dead head logs in slow moving rivers that don't have current strong enough for them to show. Also if you are fishing a new lake, traveling a high speed, I would rather be in a boat with a jet. Many Mn. lakes have rocks structure just under the surface that a jet will pass over and a prop will not.

Less broll. Or same amount and speed it up.

What river? I run a jetboat on the Delaware all the time.

Nice truck with some sorry ass exhaust

So basically, look out for rocks and the depth of the water? Wouldn’t it have been quicker to say use common sense? Yeah, there’s no real knowledge here. Oh and… What was all that lame video before the commentary? Lol rock on bro.

Said the same stuff over and over. Only one video of you running something that isn't even shallow. If you ever really wanna run the skinny come down to Missouri and I'll show you whats up.

Well this was terrible 😕
