Tom,

Holy cow that is smokin! How many gallons/mile does that thing run?

RH

Actually I think 2 per mile.

I dont own the boat yet but am interested and looking.

Shack, I'd LOVE to take a ride in that! I've seen them on TV, and they look like a blast!

I figured you'd already have that beak boat at Cumberland by now.
I've had a lot of offshore boats, and if there's one thing I can tell anyone as the #1 fact- fuel is BY FAR the cheapest thing in owning one.

I wish.....I will be down there June 5th for a little fishing derby my kids will be in....Friday I wont be doing nothing but wishing.........
Yep...that it is.

Actually I would like to see photo's of the female g-strings this boat lures in.

Post'em up!

Here's the othere extream big water



I had a whole bunch of MUCH better photos from this past sumer playing n some big whitewater but my pc crashed and I wound up loosing most that were not backed up!

shack- I have thousands of hours flying wave to wave in offshore boats, all of the Great Lakes and both coasts, but I have never had the pleasure of white-water jet boating. It's been on my bucket list for quite a while- that looks like a blast! Is there someplace a boatnut can go to experience this for a day similar to what you can do with rafts and canoeing?

Shack, these wouldnt happen to be those boats that need only 4" of water would they?

Duckworth had some very cool vids on their site. Unfortunately, the quality of the vids or feeds or whatever, was not too good. They were interesting though. I would love to have one of those boats if I lived up in the Pac Northwest. I like a top on a boat, even a fishn'ski like ours. We've actually got a better boat than the one I posted, but I don't have any pics available.

LL- absolutely you could contact our company www.greatriverfishing.com (hope this wasn't a no no) and we can play in the Fraser Canyon. We fish for sturgeon in the canyon and enjoy a day of whitewater running. Although we dont specificaly run whitewater tours, we have a few very experienced operators that would love to just spend a day crashing through the big water.

Tom- Although my boat will slip accross 4" of water, that is still its minimun draft. I can comfortably run 6", for extended periods, but 4" is the point when you start to feel bottom and turning is not much of an option. So in short yes, its one of those boats, but only for quick crossings of gravel beds, shoots, and runs.

sounds great shack- PLUS I could fish for sturgeon in BC, another thing in my bucket- I lost out on a trip to do that last year to the Columbia River due to health problems.
I'm always up for a thrill on the water- I'm not searching for 'holes in the water' as much as I used to, but I make a point of making a little noise every once in a while

Very nice.

belongs to my doctor buddy but i run it for him. he's been trying to get me to buy it but i can't see doing that right now as i fish on it for free as it is. gets pricey pumping 400 gallons
