[QUOTE="fishing66, post: 415317, member: 21255"] Dearl,thanks for your note and input. Yes, the reason for the proposed tunnel is increased protection from rocks. It would probably be a lot easier (and cheaper) if I just spent a day on the Delaware river learning the tougher spots. As to the project itself, Snyder boats in PA has a ton of experience with cutting tunnels and fortifying the transom and stringers. That's the good news. The bad news is that they are busy as heck with building new boats and mods like this aren't their #1 priority. For the time being, I ordered a UHMW shoe from Rockproof and will keep it in the boat with grill bars, pins, liner and mounting studs. If disaster strikes and the current aluminum foot gets torn off, this should theoretically get me back to the launch. This whole jet boat thing is new to me.....I had a Ranger 372 w Merc 150 and only smacked the prop once. [/QUOTE]
