Have you ever run in the Meramec around Onadaga cave. It gets pretty skinny and is fun it also splits and can run up the huzzah but you have to go during the week because the weekends is over run with floaters

Awesome video 👍

[@scottbostic6247]

Man, that's the way to go. I haven't looked yet but I can imagine what that outboard jet costs.

[@peterhopewell9344]

Gonna be north of $7k easily.

Starting in 1978 I have worked as an only income my fishing & Hunting guide services with work from the Pacific NW to Alaska and always ran outboards with jet pimps for main engines until I rebuilt my 19-6-foot jet boat to 30 feet put in a Chevrolet 1969 402 big block @ 500hp powering a Berkeley JC jet pump. The 30-foot jet boat will run this same skinny water. I am looking at having a 17-foot jet boat made Woolridge jet boats then use the Chevrolet 140 Hp 4-cylinder engine I am saving to power an inboard jet pump.

What does it cost to build a jet pump boat? What would you put on a 1448 jon?

[@lurebenson7722]

@@herbyh369 I am in the Pacific NW and also work in Alaska as a guide, so I don't know what a 1448 John boat is. I build drift boats - Dorys and jet boats from flat bottom design to vee bottom design jet boat that can be inboard and jet drive to a jet boat with an outboard and jet pump. The cost depends on size of boat. Aluminum sheets will scare anyone what they cost now. I think the next jet boat I build I am going to use a Chevrolet 4-cylinder 140Hp and an inboard jet pump. The jet boat will be no longer than 17 feet with a 6-foot-wide bottom. My last boat finished last summer so it is a 19 foot multi use Dory made of marine plywood

[@herbyh369]

@@lurebenson7722 1448 means 14ft long 48in wide. It's a flat bottom boat. You seem knowledgeable.
