    The Jetboat Fishing Mod and Rigging Guide

    Okay Gents (and Ladies), Let me start off by saying that I apologize form dropping in and out of the forum for many months on end. I was especially disappointed to read that Mel @txav8r had to abandon his Lake Powell dream last year due to a series of unfortunate mechanical events with his at...

    The Jetboat Fishing Mod and Rigging Guide

    I put the boat in both the Pacific Ocean and the monster lakes of Utah. I just mounted a bow mount trolling motor that is gps enabled and connected to my chart plotter /finder. I have fished pretty stably off the back in about 2 foot chop, but I usually pick my days where the forecast is for...

    Fishing Platform

    That is sweet. I have often thought about doing that, as well as doing something similar with the rear cushions. Very Nice! AT one point, I think @JetBoatPilot was working on fishing conversion kits, but these didn't materialize from my 07 230 I just got back from Powell. Beautiful lake...

    Possible high altitude performance tweak

    As another altitude Utah Boater, I am looking forward to hearing some test results.... I have a feeling that undoing the bimini will do more than venting the airfilter, but then again, its time to experiment!

    Yes, I have eaten at the Snag. It is awesome, but realize it is a bar with a backyard barbeque cooking up some casual food. Nothing fancy just great people, good food, and a VERY casual atmosphere. It is really the only place you could eat at the Marina. You could drive into Dutch John a...

    Poli Glow

    just for clarification, wool pads are fairly aggressive, right? do you use a compound with a wool pad, or pad alone. is a woolpad equivalent to somekind of sandpaper grit, like 1500?

    New Diesel Tow Rig...well, new to me, uh, soon to be new to me...

    Oh Yeah, one more thing....I am sure lots of people will chime in on their favorite app, or GPS unit, or road atlas. I personally am a huge fan of the "AllStays" apps for the smartphone. There is one called Allstays camp and RV that I think is amazing. It overlays every RV campsite, state...

    New Diesel Tow Rig...well, new to me, uh, soon to be new to me...

    You wont need reservations for the trip there, as none of the little RV parks roadside ever fill. You will want a reservation for Wahweap though. You get a discount at the marina slip rental for staying in the RV park of about 20% off. With regard to VHF, A handheld is probably sufficient if...

    Well, There is really nice nice car camping at the Deer Run, or Cedar Springs campground, right near the Cedar Springs Marina. p.s. "The Snag" has to be the coolest little floating bar and grill around. I really like that Cedar Springs Marina. Here is a picture of the road heading to Deer...
