Nice! I miss that river something fierce, need to make the drive soon. The big rock in pic 8 had a nice little flathead under it the last time I was there -- a couple students and I chased it around for a bit and had a grand old time.
If ever I had the balls to go noodling...it would be in that place. I stumbled upon that spot by reading catfish forums---those guys can reveal some good info about musky hangouts.
Mike, I was strongly considering a poly jet foot before I got the boat, but the smaller jet foots weren't available as were the larger motors like in the Rockproof boats. I know that market is growing for the smaller motors though. If I really bang mine up, a UHMW plastic foot will be my next purchase. Really, so far, all my hard knocks came when I was careless and barely throttling without trying to plane out---the boat has really run some skinny water when I balance out the weight with the passenger riding up front. If I angle the boat, and hit a big spill from the side, the boat ramps right up it without a lot of bow rise. It's kind of crazy zig zagging up a Class I-II drop. It would suck to clog the jet in the middle of the funnels, thus the oars.
Kyle, only the special VIP anglers get to sit on the Yeti. The rest (including you) sit on the floor!
Just put a large truck box for the rower's bench, and moved the Yeti up front. It really balances out the boat well, and gives my fishing buddies a good front row seat---hopefully not a projectile diving platform.
