[QUOTE="JJ36, post: 343719, member: 13622"] New to forum. I saw a jet Jon video a few years ago and I just recently move from big Michigan lakes to Indiana rivers. I have had boats my entire life and done most work myself but this will be my first build. I'm going to do my best to read up before I ask a bunch of noob questions. I have rebuilt a rotax 717 before so the mechanical portion doesn't scare but as I have been doing some reading I have some concerns of what I first had designed in my mind. I picked up a 93 seadoo SPX with a yellow 587 and looking for a boat. There is a 1438 flat bottom in the area for 800 and I was wondering one is that boat going to be big enough to handle the weight of the motor and a few guys and gear.
