Looking for a river boat. The Tuffy Esox Mag works great, but its tough to check out new water on a shallow river without the risk of doing some heavy damage.

Does anyone have any experience with the River-Pro boats or similar boats with jet motors?

Thanks a ton.

hey'
look at the alumacraft waterfowlers in the tunnell hull. i ran an 01 15' for a few years as my river rig. 25 johnson with a six tine welded on the lower. was good for eyes from redwing to lynxville cans out in front of ferryville skis from rivers in polk to vilas. find a smalll jackplate or get a manual one fabbed and you can do anything in that hull. hope this helps. p.m. me if you would like to chat about that rig.
