Outboard Jet Cruising

[@NAVY_NFO]

Glad you had a good time. I grew up in Horatio and basically lived on Little River. Beautiful country and amazing people!

[@Uncle_Dale_Adventures]

About time you brought your boat up to the Little River!!!!!!

[@DennisBohannan]

It was a blast. Will be back.

[@flex2win]

Here's a man that knows how to drive a boat!!!!

[@baileybeagles]

Crazy to see a video about my local river on here

[@vivimu]

Do these jet motors break a lot having this much fun, or are they comparable to a prop motor in upkeep and maintenance?

[@DennisBohannan]

I think they are pretty simple. Just got to grease the bearing.

[@johnnyfish6051]

Man that was a great vid. Thanks

[@ar15gator]

Beautiful! What HP Motor are you running?

[@DennisBohannan]

40 merc. Scan thru my videos have a nice over view of this boat.

[@ar15gator]

@@DennisBohannan Thk u, Yeah, I was just looking through your other videos and saw the Texas jet boats, with a 40hp on the back, that is a very well designed boat, love the thick hull, I’ve been looking lately myself at stick steer style boats, but tiller would be fine as well. Thanks for sharing and pleasantly replying ✊🏻💯

[@bradh74]

Do those tunnel hulls and floatation pods help any with that type of boat?

[@DennisBohannan]

I don't think so. Maybe add some protection to your intake but kill speed and lift.

[@pvang9334]

Does the type of boat hull matter? Or doesn't matter as long as it's aluminum?

[@DennisBohannan]

It matters. You have different thickness of aluminum and different grade of aluminum. Those two play a roll and also how the manufacturer welds together and the structure they outlined place.

[@pvang9334]

@@DennisBohannan oh I see, I live in WI and WI river not only gets shallow but very rocky too. Will the average jet outboard like yours do just fine?

[@DennisBohannan]

@@pvang9334 I would think so. But have never ran it hard to say.

[@joshhoh9234]

What’s the info on that rig with the 115/80? Got a similar hull and just seeing how well that motor pushes a boat like that

[@DennisBohannan]

1860 with 3/16 custom hull. 39 40 mph on good days.

[@joshhoh9234]

@@DennisBohannan right on that’s what I wanted to hear. Got a custom built 1960 3/16 full slick bottom with a 115 pro xs that I want to throw a jet pump on. Just not super common to see jets in my area. Appreciate the info!

[@joshhoh9234]

@@DennisBohannanany idea on fuel consumption for that setup?

[@DennisBohannan]

Not really. For sure be worse than a your prop.

[@Juanito_Peligroso]

The advanced course. Half that river is widow makers.

[@zanechumbley5281]

you should hit hugo spillway to the red river on the Kiamichi river

[@DennisBohannan]

@@zanechumbley5281 I have wanted to do that.

[@JohnBraman413]

still got the motor? how you like it?

[@DennisBohannan]

Yes. Over 500 hours. Wouldn't have anything else

[@stephencorleymississippili4007]

How well would a jet work with a deep V?

[@jonathanslaughter2720]

You've probably been asked this question a million times but what is that speedo app called?

[@DennisBohannan]

It is just an option within my phone's camera.

[@codysmith7456]

Can you run an outboard jet on a primarily sand river?

[@DennisBohannan]

Yes check out some of my other videos. Lots and lots of sand.

[@chrisbiggers4017]

Man you gotta stop posting these videos. It's going to wind up costing me a fortune. I do the same in Georgia on the Altamaha, Ocmulgee, Oconee, and Ogeechee Rivers. I had a Havoc with a 50 HP Tohatsu on it. Loved the boat, but had to downsize so I could have a boat small enough for the Ogeechee. Alweld 1442VV with a 20 HP Mercury. My wife just doesn't understand the concept of owning more than one boat. Great video, thanks for posting!

[@DennisBohannan]

Really tough for one boat to do it all.

[@ryanlambert8814]

Man I need a 4 stroke. That cost me 100$ in fuel in the ole 2 stroke. Lol

[@DennisBohannan]

I used less that 13 gallons.

[@chandlerhardy435]

Who do I contact about building a boat like yours?

[@DennisBohannan]

Kaz Kustom. Look down on my channel here and find details of the KAZ Kustom and should have info in the description. Message me also 903 five 7 four 2823

[@chandlerhardy435]

[@myleshagan3989]

Hey dennis my name is Myles and me and my paw have a stick steer rhino boat and we are gonna get a 60 40 what was the price on your motor

[@DennisBohannan]

I think today they are around 7000. The biggest issue is tge supply is way down and very difficult to get one at the moment.

[@myleshagan3989]

Thanks so much for replying

[@Uncle_Dale_Adventures]

Futrell Marine in Nashville AR can get you one. Ask for Tony Hodge

[@MrIndyjoe]

Dennis Bohannan it seems most guys who have jets either prefer the Mercury while others like the Yamaha. #Guessing you like the Mercs more. Is that due to their tiller steering? Can you speak to your favorite and why? Thx!

[@DennisBohannan]

@@MrIndyjoe in the 60/40 class Merc uses short shaft and large pump. Yamaha is long shaft medium pump. Tohatsu short shaft medium pump. The large pump is better especially at low speed. Top speeds on all motors are close. Merc does have the edge. I have recently spunt some time with the tohatsu amd really like the feel of it because hoe much smaller it feels. Amd comes in 30 pounds lighter. Feels much lighter than 30 pounds though. In my opinion the long shaft for a motor this size is just not an option. Need 27 inches for Yamaha 22-23 for tohatsu and merc
