The 115 Yammie probably weighs close to 400 pounds. Does anyone make an electric jack plate that will raise and lower it enough to handle both the prop and jet without removing the motor?
Kurt, have you ever tackled 20 mile with your Solar rig? Yes, no problem with that. We mounted Dan's 250's with jack plates. They were manual ones, but I've seen electric/hydraulic jack plates that would handle those kind of loads too.

358 all except the Kenai the HP restriction of 50 HP Randy lots run the 20 mile in Solar inflatables and similar boats, I haven't easier to run the Knik from Eagle River. There may be some Inflatable Jet Boats at the Sportsman Show this weekend if the vendors can afford the tariff! If you want one this summer you better get one early boats and motors take a lot of lead time!

Thanks KK,

I’ve been looking over the ATEC recently. I can buy directly any bypass the 110% dealer mark up…just not sure by how much.
Yes, I’m planning on being at the show this weekend.

Not having seen an ATEC, I appreciate your comparative insight. Thank you.

There was a skiff at the Great Alaskan Sportman Show around 27 k just glanced at it, and did not see any vendors with inflatable jet boats rather disappointing show.
Talked to a Forest Service enforcement person about the Solar Boats, and he said one went up the Snow River and helped rescue an airboat, did not know it was legal to run a power boat up that river and it has been on my bucket list! Going to make it happen.

Kurt,
Remember the days of the Great Alaskan boat show held at the Sullivan arena? The entire inside was packed with boats and they were scattered all around the arena in the parking lot.
That was a good boat show
My biggest fear is when I die my wife will sell my guns for what I told her they cost.

There was a booth at the show advocating a lead ban in Alaska as in all copper bullets like California, they asked me if was a hunter
and I said only with lead! Just do not support a total ban on lead through a law change and wonder who is behind this.

Not having seen an ATEC, I appreciate your comparative insight. Thank you. It's been a while, and maybe they've improved, but I talk5to a couple kenai guys who had ATECs and they weren't impressed. They all said they had wished they had spen5the extra Mohandas bought a Willie, North River, Alumaweld or other such. Said they were lightweight and flexed in the transom and didn't bite well in a turn. More of a slide.

Then reason I bought a Solar Inflatable Jet Boat was access to Alaskan outdoors! Limited road access and expansion of no access, the Inflatable Jet boats allow a lot more access to Alaska, think of a boat that's like a Super cub.
Little fuel usage and hi load capacity it has drawbacks but what boat does not.
