Well, after many years away from boating, I took the plunge. Not a jet but should be a great fishing boat. Hewescraft 200 Pro V ET. I’ve installed Scotty 2106 downriggers, rod holders, and a Lowrance Elite 9ti gps/sonar combo. Can’t wait to get it on the water.

Nice boat!

We won’t be using the Gensse launch this summer, bridge construction camp set up right across the launch! I will post picture later

Just have to cruise by wide open, then shut off and float by drinking a cold one... work sucks

Awesome pics, but that’s a pretty big pond. Where are you fishing out there ? I’’’ve only ever fished by Captain’’s Village Marina by Scotch Creek. In years past, I’’ve caught many nice rainbows in that area.

Anybody on here run a 200 optimal inboard for the jet? Just wondering what kind of fuel mileage your getting ?

Thanks

I got one but haven’t had it out much yet. It’s not the best for sure but not as bad as I thought. But so many other factors play into fuel mileage, like hull design and size, load, and the amount of throttle you use.
