That’s the conclusion I’ve come to. Thanks!

Here she is beached, the inspiration for my lighter hunting boat actually!

That’s exactly my thinking. I’m fairly familiar with props and pitch even though I’m a jet boat guy currently. I definitely feel like I can get more motor for the money if I go with a 30 vs a 40. In a long shaft tiller they seem more common as well.

I’m in the process of converting a 1988 bass tracker tx-17 to a duck boat. It is going to simply have an aluminum floor, small front deck and small rear seats (all aluminum) set up for a tiller. I have a center console jet boat for fishing, so this will be solely used for duck hunting and the...

This looks like my best bet for sheets if I go that route. https://www.usafoam.com/closedcellfoam/polyethylene.html

THe more I research it, I think the two part foam is the way to go. How do you keep it from going everywhere when you pour it?

Yea i figure I am. I have the time and the determination.

Another reason I think I may just use sheets.

What is the reasoning for going in from the top? The side would allow me to avoid replacing all the vinyl. I’m leaning towards foam sheets.

That’s exactly my plan, except I may come in from the side. What foam did you use?

I really did leave out some essential info! Boat is a 2003 g3 1756 cc dlx. The foam I’m really concerned about is the foam under the rear deck. I’m thinking I can cut the aluminum on the side and basically make an access panel to get in it there, seal it with silicone. The one picture shows...

Question.. I’m fairly certain my boat’s foam is waterlogged, specifically under the rear deck. The deck is welded into the boat, so what are my options to rectify?

You're going to really like the G3 1860. My cousin had one until someone rearended him towing it to the river. Even after getting rear-ended, not a single weld cracked on the boat. I'd definitely suggest the 115/80. I have a 90/65 on my 17' g3 CC. I will agree about the cavitation, but I've...

If you do some searching on the web you'll find info about using bigger washers to prevent it from happening.. I've heard stories of guys bumping the boots on rocks, not while moving fast at all, and ripping them off.

Yea.. That's the susquehanna for ya

Your foot isn't bad until it looks like this!

My foot has seen it's better days, couple minor cracks, bunch of bent up, and straightened, and bent, and straightened grates.. I nailed a rock in a section of river I thought I was good in, but I went to the other side than normal to avoid some kayakers, nailed the foot of the motor at 30+...

I almost never have any cavitation problems in even the roughest of conditions. Usually the pounding slows me down before cavitation does. I've been in tunnel hull jets that cavitate in the slightest of chop, so i'd rather stay how I am than cavitate that much. Just trying to get as much info...

Good to know.. I've heard about cavitation problems in chop and stuff, but I'd think they'd actually help channel water to the pump? If I get them it will be over the winter, but I'm seriously considering it.. I love my boat, just would love to not squat as bad

Man I'd love to see some pics of this boat.. Sound like an absolute steal for the price!
