Members duckalot Posted March 12 Members Posted March 12 I have a 16' jon boat with a 25 hp prop. on a jackplate so I can run fairly shallow water. I know it all depends on the river and water elevation but on average in June how much of the river would I be able to run without a jet? I would like to be able too put in and run as far up river as possible and camp float/fish a day or two floating back down. Thanks

gotmuddy Posted March 13 Posted March 13 my wife and I took a 18x36 jon boat with a 9.9 from riverton to myrtle in august with no issues. everything in this post is purely opinion and is said to annoy you.

Says the King of Mary Decker Shoals.....😜 Stay below Greer, river level can be a challenge with a jet, but floating down very doable below Greer, shuttles are not that expensive.

I would like to spend a couple days, launch and motor up stream and float and fish back down stopping at some of the float camps over night. Renting canoe's or kayaks is an option but I just bought a 16' jon boat with a little 25hp prop drive and would like to use it. Would really like to find a jet for it. Terrierman 1
