Heading to St Francois River Sunday to give it the shake down cruise. Maybe the white bass are running, its time. Might consider a whale tail if you trouble getting it up plane quickly. Nice rig!!!
jdmidwest Posted March 28, 2020 Author Posted March 28, 2020 It's light enough it should pop up. I think the motor still needs to go up some. Fishing it with a friend on Sunday, it will be at it's average weight so I can tweak it. See what I need then. Who sells the whale tail for a jet? I have seen a couple but never used one.

About the same as the one my departed friend had. Much enjoyment we had in it and you will too buddy. Yes to getting that foot higher. Your test run will tell.

I’m no expert on jet boats but from what I’ve read in the jet boat Facebook groups the middle of the Intake on the foot should be even with the bottom of the boat.

You aren't gonna need a hydrofoil. Motor just needs to come up a bit. You're gonna take a shower running it like that. Take some soap and a towel. 😅 BilletHead 1
Mitch f Posted March 28, 2020 Posted March 28, 2020 The leading edge should be above the bottom of the boat and the trailing edge should be about an inch below...some guys say 3/4” snagged in outlet 3 and Gavin 2 "Honor is a man's gift to himself" Rob Roy McGregor

jdmidwest Posted March 30, 2020 Author Posted March 30, 2020 SD got her wings today. Picked up my little cousin and cruised from Old Greenville Ramp to Bounds Creek. In flood stage, GPS showed 12 MPH up and 14 down. Planed out good and run like a champ. Motor sits about right. Hard to say how shallow it runs with so much muddy water. But pops up good and plenty of umpf. fishinwrench, Mitch f and nomolites 3 "Life has become immeasurably better since I have been forced to stop taking it seriously." — Hunter S. Thompson
