sfiser Posted May 24, 2018 Share Posted May 24, 2018 Supreme 207XP with a 60/40 jet. Best river boat there is and I've owned 2 topwaters and this boat blows them away. Theres a reason the majority of the fly guides ( I can think of at least 7 fly guides that run this boat). Call Rob or Chris over at Supreme and have them get you some info. I live in Fayetteville, if you are anywhere near here and want to take a ride in one or look at one, I would be happy to meet up with you and you can crawl around in mine and we can go for a spin on the lake.

Members Aghart Posted August 30, 2018 Members Share Posted August 30, 2018 Does the 60/40 Jet push your boat pretty well? I am considering an L60 with the same motor setup Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am considering an L60 with the same motor setup it does push it well and gets up on step quickly. I'm very happy with the setup and the speed. Supreme builds a great boat!

Greasy B Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 Last weekend I watched a joy rider run the Meramec with a big jet, 200 HP or so. It didn’t appear the gentlemen made any attempt to read the river or select a path based on conditions, he simply ran straight down the middle and throttled up when he encountered shallow water. Judging from the chocolate water and the rocks shooting from the wake his boot and impeller got a good shine. We ran up the river in our 21ft glass river jon, 450lbs of fishermen, ~300lbs of gear and camping luxury powered by a 20HP jet and never ate a rock. You definitely don’t need big power as much as you need your eyes and a little sense.

Oddly enough, as long as it doesn't bring you to a stop, hitting something while going fast does less damage than hitting it slower. The more straight-forward momentum you have working for you the better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
