Yes they push them a lot harder than I do was talking to my bud Jim that sells them, and he was commenting on how I baby them. Mine has an orange triangle on the stern!
Right now no motors are available, and the supply of the boats extremely limited.

Kurt was telling me this morning the boats were ordered in the fall and now they are planning to deliver them in mid-summer... but of 100 motors ordered they are offering to deliver 3...
Mark Begich, Joaquin Jackson, and Heller resistance... Three huge reasons to worry about the NRA.

How well do they handle when loaded down? For example -Two guys, camp/gear, and a moose?

The 470 is rated for 2 K, my 470 stays on step at 12 MPH, about 2.2 GPH at 20 MPH , 470 Strella, 50 HP Tohatsu 4 stroke jet. Look at the videos on https://www.facebook.com/Jetech-LLC-574710489535823/

Sure could of used one of these when we headed to the Koyukuk for moose every year. We would run up the Huslia and branch off to shallow water using a 10 foot Zodiac with a prop. We could of got into areas few ever visit with one of these boats.
My biggest fear is when I die my wife will sell my guns for what I told her they cost.

With the poly bottom and a urethane jet foot they are the ticket for access up here.
