The Yeti Posted March 15, 2005 Share Posted March 15, 2005 I saw a boat dealer that had them. Never heard of em. Any thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed Carlson Posted March 16, 2005 Share Posted March 16, 2005 They make a serious Jet Boat. For the price they ask for them...they better be serious! If you looking at a Jet Drive Boat that is a real value from start to finish, I highly recommend you look at the RiverPro line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dennis Steele Posted March 16, 2005 Share Posted March 16, 2005 They have been around for awhile. They make quality aluminum jet boats used to travel the swift rivers out west as well IO units for the coast. Well built boats for sure. Kind of spendy however. If you could get in one for under 35K youd be doing good.Like Ed mentioned if your interested in shallow water performance I would check out River Pro. While Duckworth makes boats designed to run rivers out west they don't run nearly as shallow as a River Pro. It all breaks down to deadrise and the lift of the boat. River Pro makes the only 6 degree reverse chine delta pad hull on the market. The smaller the degree on the hull the shallower it will run. A River Pro can run through just a few inches of water. I can honestly say that I have run approximately 3 or 4" in my RP. I beleive Duckworths shallowest hull design is a 10 degree. Better for cutting through the large waves created in the fast rapids of those rivers but too deep of a vee to run the shallower slower rivers found in our area.
