I know, sorry. So funny because I tried to get it back on point with my fuel consumption story. So in that regard Chrisco, you have any info on your boat performance and fuel numbers other than a total km and litres used? What your minimum on step speed and rpm, what is your most efficient...

4 moose in the one photo and the big bull in my boat.

No I didn't post to Facebook. Put the moose in a 22 footer. I'll see if I can post a photo tomorrow. I have some good photos of last year's moose. This year was not as spectacular. For Western we put 2 moose in a 16 foot Lund with 3 guys.

Back to the thread I'm really happy to see these numbers because after this year I know my numbers pretty good. I just got back from 72km up and down river (current speed is about 10km/h). I ran a constant 3200rpm on a 212 with a 3.4kw running 55km/hr down and 45/hr up plus or minus with 100...

Yeah, I don't want one. Sorry if I gave that impression. I was interesting in what the ecoboost runs like in a light hull. I'm very happy with my beast of a boat. I'd like to eventually sway the 350 out for something bigger but I'll kill this engine first. Frankly I'm hopeful that indmar...

We have some deeper silty rivers and pea gravel rivers up here in the NWT and do some long, long trips. A guy here has one of their open 16 foot boats and it does well but a closed bow, more power and speed would be helpful. I have a big 22 sidewinder (westcan) that I run and am very happy...

Anyone running on of these around these parts. Wondering about your realworld fuel use for longer trips.

The explorer jet with ecoboost looks pretty nice. At least the video they did with hole shot. Have seen them but never been in one.

350 carb with 212 is a great combo. You can always ask for more hp but a newer engine or a used take out 6L or a custom 383 or bigger longblock isn't too expensive compared to a new hull. As for the best jetboat hull, as folks have said nothing is perfect for everything and different...

If you freeze salt water to make ice blocks your ice is at -4 which will freeze your eggs if you put them beside your ice block. Or if you have a few salt ice blocks it will freeze your fish fillet are you catch a fish. Or it will keep your food colder longer. No sure whats hard to grasp...

Salt ice is -4 degrees while fresh water ice is 0. The difference is 4 degrees colder.

You can freeze salt ice yourself. A cup of salt to a liter of water, do it in a milk jug. Basically sea ice, which I believe is -4 instead of 0. It will freeze eggs if you put them next to the milk jugs. You can freeze fillets in a cooler with sea ice too. Just hard stuff and kill your...
