Re: yamaha jet drive??????
okay, I apologize for not being more specific.<br />I have rundown and written what I would like to own. <br />Jumping stumps will not be a habit, I would like to avoid them. I am looking at SeaArk or a G3 type aluminum all welded boat, around 14 to 16 foot.<br />Next, I would like to purchase a good used or new yamaha 60/40 jet drive outboard. <br />My load would be 2 people, trolling batter, trolling motor and gear.<br />What type of performance should I get? Is this a reliable set up?<br />I have seen boats running 90/60 Yamaha's on 17 to 18 foot aluminum boats that they have built the transom up... Can this be done?<br />I have also read articles and have done some research on where to mount the motor. It seems to me that the best or overall way to do this is to go with a hydraulic jackplace to set the motor where it needs to be. Thank you so much and If you would be willing to talk over the phone that would be great also. I know that the only place to get the jet foots is a custom made job in California. <br />As far as spending what would I be looking at spending for this?<br />40 yamaha 60 powerhead, 40 jetfoot<br />16 foot SeaArk or G3 boat<br />I have around 6 to 8 grand to spend.<br />I have search both Iboats and Boattrader for used ones and noone seems to want to sell or they are just that rare.<br />Please help!<br />Thanks again<br />Oshi
