Outboard Jets

[reatard132]

thats one way to put a fire out!

[retrodan92]

what made yall decide to go with a jet dride opposed to a mud motor?

[swampswimmingshrek]

@retrodan92 The ability to haul 6 guys and all there gear. Also the speed getting places. We usually run around 25mph. Plus the ability to run in 6" of water. Also the rivers we run here have gravel bottoms and they are a little rough on the Mud motor props. There are guys here that run them though.

[retrodan92]

@swampswimmingshrek well im looking to buy me a good duck huntin/ giggin boat and im torn between a jet drive outboard and a mud motor.

[swampswimmingshrek]

@retrodan92 Do you have alot of weed or trash in the water? If so go with a mud motor. The jet plugs up with moss, weeds, etc.

[retrodan92]

@swampswimmingshrek well there is sawgrass and lillies but its not necessary to go through them. one last thing, do you have to buy a new outboard jet motor or can you just buy a jet foot for a regular outboard?

[mfreeman451]

@swampswimmingshrek what happens when the jet plugs up, are you screwed? What about a river that has a ton of silt in it like pool 2 or pool 3?

[chrisg8120]

lots of cum!

[1000rr6969]

Are both of these boats 18ft?

[swampswimmingshrek]

@1000rr6969 One is a 18' and one is 17'

[pegagordo]

OH Man! Those merc"s sound nince!! My dream motor for my alweld would be 105 Mercury jet!!!

.

[swampswimmingshrek]

@pegagordo Yeah I miss that optimax! It sounds a little beefer then the carbed motors I think.

[caterpillar176]

what size is that mercury

[swampswimmingshrek]

@caterpillar176 Its rated 90 horse at the head. Once it goes out the pump its 90.

[G3115jet]

Awesome . I do that with my jet . I have a 115 jet its a good way to knock off jet skiers..lol

[lscamaro]

how shallow can those motors go

[swampswimmingshrek]

@lscamaro Well over a gravel bar or something we can usually run in 4" when on step.

[asssface2000]

lol hillbillys buying shit on credit that they could never afford.

[swampswimmingshrek]

@asssface2000 Well I'm guessing your talking about your experiance. Which is cool.

[bill45colt]

Glad to see posting with no music. Someone needs to learn spelling. There, their, and they're are all different words with greatly different meanings. In reading, the reader is led unawares off into an unintended direction by the misspellings.

[ClarkJudah]

Ha! I didn't realize the water shot out so far when you trim them up like that. Next time someone in a kayak on the river tells me to slow down I'm going to give them one of those with my jet.

[swampswimmingshrek]

@ClarkJudah Be Careful they can really hurt someone too.

[alderaforall]

@ClarkJudah you should have a little more respect for others on the water.

[redneck7095]

where is that video at what state and town

[SYSTEMS64]

heck yea i do that wid mine all the time wid my 860 LDBR, 115/80 evinrude....A+ more videos!!!!

[asuperv27]

i had no idea such a craft existed

[swampswimmingshrek]

@asuperv27 I'm guessing your use to props?

[TheMackfy]

now yor talking

[drklwsn11]

hey pegagordo how much did your alweld cost

[pegagordo]

@drklwsn11 I paid $5000 used with a evinrude 60/prop. It was set up for bowfishing, took all the shit off and put a 115 johnson with a jet. This boat is quite heavy if I keep it as light as possible it runs about 35 m.p.h. It is extremely wide. One day I hope to upgrade it with a 150 h.p. outboard.

[pegagordo]

I love my alweld 18ft/115 johnson with a jet pump!!!!

[cwooten23]

how fast on the gps is yor boat?

[swampswimmingshrek]

@cwooten23 Tops out around 34mph at 2000ft elev.

[drklwsn11]

i just have 30hp jet

[G3115jet]

Sweet .I have 115 jet .Its fun getting people wet . Its awesome to knock jet skiers off there ski

[lawman0252]

Holy shit...

Does the jet drive replace the prop I am assuming?

How much do those jet drives cost?

[swampswimmingshrek]

@lawman0252 Yes the jet unit goes on where the prop is normally. I think you can get a jet drive for around $1500

[jizzmonger]

Potholes

[BoeingXtremes]

I love how loud the jets are when they take-off onto plain they're just beast and can go anywhere there is water.

[swampswimmingshrek]

One is a 1756 VTC with a 90 Horse Optimax and the other is a 1860 with a 115 Mercury.

[blakereed12345678]

what size engine and boat is that roughneck because i've got a 1756 vtp w/ a 90 horse optimax on it

[weisestolz]

You need a 200 on that boat!

[swampswimmingshrek]

Yep that is what mine is. The other is a 1860 with a 115/80
