Default short run this last weekend in the jet boat

this is a short run up the clearwater river from hwy 200 up to salmon lake.
the boat is a 1982 hamilton 140M jet boat from new zealand . a bit of a rock garden on the upper up of the run just before the lake. we made just fine with only a cpl taps on the bottom

Good job,
any trip you can drive the boat back is a GOOD trip.
I hate making all those split second decisions to run water like that. Don't mean I can't or don't just hate it...

if you ever bring your hewes this way you can some or this with us.
it does help if you jet boat bottom is stronger then some of the boats out there with very little in bottom strength. also not sure what you have for an intake grate but that also needs to be strong so it can take a cpl good hits

somebody just ordered 1 of our boats from your area so i think you will see on your local rivers some time soon. he is a very nice guy and he even let his wire help with the layout on the inside . if you do see him and you would like to try some jet boating im sure he would love to show off his new boat
