I am currently seeking to get a new boat. Have a 1860 g3 CCJ with a 115/80 jet. I enjoy it a lot but am really considering a rock proof or river raptor. Just wanting to get some outside opinions on the two and pros/cons on them! Thanks for any and all answers!
 
rockproof is making a outboard transom i think that would make a nice river boat seems like a lot of problems with the rotex

Just minor problems or more major ones? I like the g3 I have, just wanted to try to get into the inboard side
 
no clean out ports sometime the stomp grate dont do the job, hard to get under the boat to clean out the intake when your only in a foot of water with the outboard just trim it up and clean the intake. my next will be a outboard for sure but im running a shallow river,
