This just came up on craigslist. What do you guys think? Big bottom, 17/60? I guess the dead rise is my concern.

I'm pretty sure this thing is going to draft pretty deep even though it's got a jet pump hanging off the back. Kind of an oddball build.

Doesn't the river pro have have a deadrise? Same length width and weight as the 1860 ccj. With same hp. It
Just doesn't have a jet tunnel. That would suck if I stuck it in my river.
After paying 15k.

6 degrees? My Duracraft is a 10 degree. I've never actually looked at a Riverpro, but, with that shallow of an angle, I'm sure they use a delta pad or spoon to deal with cavitation.

Kevin uses a little bit of everything to keep the water flowing into the pump.

Looks like some other new stuff is in the works:

Sorry Jamie, although I dropped the page from my web site menu, I forgot it was still active in Goodbarry. I had to pull the page b/c my insurance company frowned at my then lack of mandatory safety glasses in the shop.

Those are very nice-looking hulls! That delta pad on the bottom is exactly what I have envisioned (in hindsight) that should have been done to my hull, but will be done on the next one.

On another note, I spoke with 'gotasquirt' over the phone yesterday, man, he is a wealth of info on jetboats, says he's been building jet johns about 15 years. I'm still impressed as hell with that little 8' New Zealand style jetboat he built, that thing is awesome!!
 
I think I scored an incredible deal… Searched craigslist nationally for months and ran into this 2000 miles away from me. 2012 1860 ccj with the F90 and 100 hours on it. $10,500.. It is beat up but it would look the same after I used it for a year. I ensured there was no liens, set up a you ship auction and got it delivered for $2000. So $12,500 delivered.
