It has a 60hp Yamaha. Both 2010 models boat/motor. Does the weeds and debree actually get inside the foot or does it have a screen that it stops up where I could just shut it off and clean it out? If I do not get it I will probably just get a new/newish Alumacraft since the old one has held up good as it has. I have hit bottom several times with it(motor). I'm not sure if some of those little skids that bolt on the skegs would help a prop motor much or not. He claims that he's ran in 5" of water with 2 people and gear with the jet and that sounds pretty excellent. It also has two HDS-8 Gen1 units. Only thing I might add is some MinnKota Talons or PowerPoles.
My buddy had a 90/65 jet on a 18ft g3 and it fished really good. The thing with the jet sucking up debris is try not to take off right where you see tons trash in the water. The most important thing is if you do suck someting significant up shut down your motor right away and pull the debris away from the intake. I was never in it in 4ft waves but it handled nicely and you never have to worry about tearing your lower unit out. |
