  1. If I am going to spend 16-18k on a glorified jon boat I would like it to be a multi tasker. the Havoc river rat is presently #1 on my list because it’s designed for a jet drive. #2 is the Alweld mud invader. both have a true flat bottom, yes it will slide when turning at speed but they will ride shallower in the skinny trout water. The Alweld mud invader is designed for a surface drive but if the transom is standard size then a jet drive will work fine. The Alweld also has tons on storage compartments which are useful but I wonder about the added weight... either way it’s gonna cost 16-18k and I am being greedy and want it all, trout, ducks, and everything in between. 🙂
  2. Thinking about getting a new boat, would like a boat I can trout fish in the summer and ducks in the winter. I do not want a surface drive, but a jet drive would be nice (maybe get a prob motor for ducks). I was looking at the Havoc river rat, anyone have experience with this boat in the white/little red? pros/cons, alternate ideas? thx
  3. Thank you, I wish I had more time to use it.
  4. Sorry, boat located near Searcy, Ar

  8. I am considering selling my trout boat. 2009 Supreme Trout Boat 20' x 48" 25hp Yamaha motor purchased new a couple months ago from Sunrise Marine. Motor has about 5-8 hrs on it. Motor has 6 year transferable warranty Stainless steel "Rock Hopper" prop protector. 3 fishing seats, 1 non-matching captains seat (the matching one is one the side of the road somewhere). New battery 2 anchors with attached rope. New fuel tank with gas line Ez load trailer with bearing protectors and spare tire. Asking $9,900 As you can see I am not a good photographer. I do have a few more pics that it wont let me upload. I can email/text the pics if needed email: deerhunter9876@gmail.com
  9. Alright guys, I know I have been asking a lot of questions on here. I am just trying to make informed decisions before I purchase something. I work hard for my money and don't want to waste it buying dysfunctional products. Thank you to all who have helped thus far!!! What type/size anchor does it take to solidly anchor a supreme boat in all types of current in the Little Red.
  10. Prop protector, good or bad? If good, which one ( mac's, rockhopper)?
  11. Good info, kinda where I was leaning but I wanted to get some experienced opinions. Thank you
  12. Ok guys, I went motor shopping today. I have ruled out a jet, but leaning toward yamaha because I can have it worked on (if needed) within 5 miles of my house. Now my big question is: 20 or 25 hp? Price not an issue because they are only $200 apart. My big question is the 20hp weighs 110 lbs, the 25 hp weighs 168 lbs. Is the extra 5 hp worth the extra 60 lbs? I am a big guy and 90% of the time I will be with my 11 year old (occasionally other adults) I won't usually be carrying lots of gear (poles, tackle etc).
  13. I couldn't find any new info on the Johnson 25/20 in the quick search I just did. Do you have an idea of the approx cost? The Evinrude site did say that a 25hp prop weighed 160lbs, a 20hp Honda/yamaha weighs in neighborhood of 105lbs. Do you think the increased weight is worth it? I like the idea of being able to handle skinny water as that is where I am use to fishing, but everyone seems to lean toward props to fish my area. As for the diff types of fishing to learn, I want a general knowledge of everything artificial. We catch/release and this is strictly for fun. At this point I do not fly fish but it's on the agenda (my 11 Year old is dying to learn to fly fish).
  14. No I am never in a hurry, nice and slow is the way to go. I work a fast pace high stress job, when I am not there I enjoy the opposite. The only reason I think a jet would be useful to me is in low water situations that I am accustomed to fishing now. I considered booking a guide for a day to take me out and I can learn his boat handling skills and some "high water" fishing techniques, since As a wade fisher I have always stayed away when the water is up.
  15. And the smallest jet you can get is in the 40/30 range?
