I called awhile back . And they said this something they really don’t do anymore. I think motojet would . But the cost now a days is more than your average red neck can spend .

@@user-ju3ns2cz1u I got a similar message last year about a new 17 RMX. Motojet is likely the ticket when the time comes to build a another one. Mercury deciding to stop making the sportjet is a bummer. Fortunately, there are still a few good options for a guy looking for a used 17' sportjet with UHMW bottom. More in Canada than USA, but still findable.

I was wondering how you have your winch set up on your trailer to pull off and on your boat? I saw the video you pull your boat off in your garage. Love the boat nice size and cool color.
@RichardNateMiller 2 ай бұрын
I just run the bow line back to a pulley near the back of the trailer. Then tie off to my trailer winch and start cranking. The pulley allows the trailer winch to pull the boat off the trailer. I am going to upgrade the trailer winch to a 3500lb very soon. Currently I use a portable capstan to get the boat back on the trailer. Saves me the strain.

I have only been a short distance up Willow Cr then chickened out scared there was at that time a scab Illegal guide upriver running an Illegal guided service and using a Hugh North River jet boat so the thought of a meeting between the boats changed my mind to go any further. Just weeks later that scab Illegal guide had his boat crushed with clients on board when the idiot tied up to a rotten cotton wood tree than fell on the boat and clients at Lake Creek and that ended his illegal guiding. I really like the Kashwitna R when opened to fish it is chuck full of salmon and the moose hunting is fantastic.
