I had asked questions about jet all weld jon boats,not a lot of imfo out there.then try to buy one!Could not find one on the east coast.I had to order it for August delivery,but I made the choice.Alumacraft VB,or MV1650 allweld,4"jet tunnel,tiller steer,60/40 Yamaha jet,with factory light package,includes front wiring for trolling motor,lights,as well as bilge pump.I`ve already bought support stuff,like seats&swivels and such.I hope I can troll with it around 2.5mph,will have to see.I also ordered it with factory sponsans for added floatation,shallow water,as well as quick on plane performance.Diamond galv trailer with side bunks,as well as step to get in the boat out of the water,along with Hummingbird Helix 7 GPS DI.I hope it all works out,and I have another small bass boat if need be to troll.If I missed anything,I`d like to hear ideas about it.This boat has a sliding rail system on gunneal rail,hope to find some rod holders to work in this.I considered a riveted lowe 1652 with the Yammie 40/30 jet,as I hear the Merc 25 jet is a dog,but this motor needs the 25" transom to work.Just floating down the river last Sunday even the boat was hitting rocks,so thought the tunnel will keep the bottom of the pump housing from damage,since this motor is in the 8 grand area with the tiller,these things are crazy high$$$.
​Thanks to all,Dizz
