We met up with friends for a trip on the Strawberry River in north central Arkansas. We put in at Peebles Bluff and ran 10 miles up to the low water bridge at Hulett Road and then back down 17 miles to the old mill dam at Smithville. The day we ran the Poughkeepsie gage was at 2.7 which was just right for skinny water running. It's a beautiful river to run with lots of tight holes to shoot. The Denali ran great...we had a large time! The Thunder Jet Denali is a rugged built aluminum boat with a 200 h.p. Merc Optimax Sport Jet power plant. With a 48 gal fuel tank we can run all day. This boat is optioned with heat/defrost, full canvas enclosure, wipers, headlights, 42" UHMW bottom plastic allowing it to slide over gravel bars and log jams. We can run in as little as 4" of water on step with a top speed of 45 mph. You will not find a stronger built boat...PERIOD!

The Denali was built with the moose hunter in mind. Decided on a name that reflected the American outback. We dont have much moose in Kentucky but plenty of American outback. I noticed early on when you own a jet boat you look at maps differently when deciding where to go for the weekend.
