gotmuddy Posted January 21, 2013 Author Posted January 21, 2013 the white is a very dangerous river. I dont figure my jet will push the new boat much more than 5mph faster than my 9.9 so maybe I wont tear it up everything in this post is purely opinion and is said to annoy you.
grizwilson Posted January 21, 2013 Posted January 21, 2013 ive never seen a ranger or game warden while fishing in the past 3 years, however I only run a 9.9 on the buffalo. Ham, have you had any hard hits with the fiberglass boat? I am sort of scared of hitting one with my new js boat. Thanks for the insight, I would love to run my jet up the Buffalo, but the ranger gave me a warning ticket, a little above razorback... So I bought a longshaft 9.9 to run. “If a cluttered desk is a sign, of a cluttered mind, of what then, is an empty desk a sign?”- Albert Einstein
gotmuddy Posted January 21, 2013 Author Posted January 21, 2013 I cant believe he only gave you a warning. I have heard horror stories. everything in this post is purely opinion and is said to annoy you.

Have had numerous warnings, if you are NOT drunk, pleasant and honestly stupid, he will give you a break (forest service and park ranger not Arkansas game and ticket everyone) “If a cluttered desk is a sign, of a cluttered mind, of what then, is an empty desk a sign?”- Albert Einstein
Ham Posted January 21, 2013 Posted January 21, 2013 I've been checked twice on the Buffalo by NPS folks. I was completely within the law and had all my documents in order. neither experience was unpleasant. I'd love to take my jet up the Buffalo, but don't.

Members trouthog Posted January 31, 2013 Members Posted January 31, 2013 gotmuddy i thought js boats went out of business?
gotmuddy Posted February 1, 2013 Author Posted February 1, 2013 they did. this boat is a 2005 model that I traded from my friends at riley station. everything in this post is purely opinion and is said to annoy you.
Members trouthog Posted February 5, 2013 Members Posted February 5, 2013 how do you like it, i have only seen 1 of them & it was on the white last summer, i bet it was u.. lol looked like a nice boat.. it was white w/ red if i remember right.. just above narrow shoals in july. thats the only js i have ever seen here.. i'd like to find out were there molds went , i'd like a shot river boat biz.. i tryed to call & left a message for old owenr & sent email but have never gotten a responce.. i'd like a topwater, but man are they spendy... they are super nice & fit & finish is the best i have ever seen! quaility is top notch, i have looked at a 4 or 5 now & they are super slick boats. u decided on that upgrade yet? i am like u, i am torn, i have a 79 merc, runs great & is really good on fuel for an old 2 stroke.. but i worry with mine that parts are so rare that i may not have a choice... i keep hearing talk of a ban on 2 strokes on the river but i have not found any real info on it, i think its just folks stir'n the pot.
