Thanks Harry!

I really like the idea of the jet boat you have they look really neat

[@billjohnson7347]

Great video. I've been on 20 Mile many times but never as far up as the lake.

[@KrisDeVo]

Thanks, what boat do you run up? Carmen creek can be pretty skinny but definitely an awesome run.

[@billjohnson7347]

At the time I had an 18' Wooldridge Extra Plus. Great boat for shallow water. I've upgraded to a 30' fiberglass but I sure miss the Wooly!

Is this Carmen Lake. 40 miles south of Ankorage? If so, have you seen the memorial that was put up after 6 men died in a plane crash there in September 1978. One of those men was my sister's husband. Would love to get a picture of the memorial (if it's still there) for her grown kids. They were 9, 7, and 4 when he died.

Hey how far is it up the river at 1:05 on video and is that goos salmon fishing?

[@KrisDeVo]

There is good fishing from what I hear

[@leadingedgetec1566]

What boat is this? I like the center console configuration... Trying to decide on my seating pattern now.. Worried about center of gravity... keeping weight low..?

[@KrisDeVo]

These are two 14' mini jet boats a buddy and I built. Unless you building a tower/top I wouldn't worry too much about keeping weight low. It does need to be low but more importantly is your center of gravity forward and aft.

[@KrisDeVo]

@Kevin Scoggins We designed these and built these.

Nice . . Where’s is it at ..

[@solrus20]

What min hp required for this boat?

[@KrisDeVo]

[@solrus20]

Chris do u take orders for the welded hull?

[@KrisDeVo]

Nope. Look at Firefish, MotoJet or Bratt Jet

[@solrus20]

@@KrisDeVo from your liking what will you choose? I like pics of Bratt trapper and then Motojet 150 hunter
