- I was able to do a build video from start to finish of my latest boat. I missed a few things, but I hope I got enough to keep you entertained.
Once I get 100 or so hours on it, I will update.
For electronics packages, I would recommend reaching out to Jamie from the dugout bait & tackle in Georgia. - บันเทิง
Nice video, the boat looks great. If I was a rock, I would be scared!
Awesome boat build! Thanks for allowing us to follow along Joe! I’m sure you will enjoy this one.
Thanks Ritchie! We’re enjoying it!
@@jraymond115so awesome they are close to my house this gives me so much excitement. Getting ready to get one bulit too once I convince my wife.
Awesome video Joe can’t wait to book a trip.
Sounds good. Thank you!
Thanks you for all of the info. On this boat,I really am thinking of buying one just like your boat. It is sweet build. Thanks
This is a great video. So well thought out. Thank you!
Glad you enjoyed it
Very nice build, Joe. I really like the setup of the raised rod boxes. Have you found any rod holders to attach to the side of them to organize the rods instead of just setting them in the box and letting them bang around? Very functional and very well put together rig. That Rotac is quite the beast to have under lever in what is essentially a 19' rig. Nice job outfitting.
Excellent design
Well done Joe! We look forward to fishing out of it! :-)
Yes! Thank you!
Looks really good
Thank you
Sweet boat my friend ❤❤❤
fujr… lol thanks bud. 😊 Yours is going to look pretty slick once you get that flooring installed
AWESOME!
Ive watched RockProoof from the time I was a novice boater to now being a seasoned boat builder. Theres are quite a few odd things ill never understand. From the use of 4" channel longitudnal stringers to the square gunnels. Im sure Hardox is a premium protection but not having lifting strakes or reverse chines prevents being nimbal & increases plowing through turns. Im mostly surprised by the lack of lid structure. its just weird to see straight 3/16 sheet hatches with no guttering or dry storage. I also didnt expect to see the shallow water exeption & no foam, but that all comes to an end in a few months with the new USCG regulations. love the end result, from the color scheme to the trailer. Im sure that 300 is a fun little unit. even comparing it to outboard weight, power, & cost its a clear winner. Id love to build a hull around one myself. God knows i wont be building another jet with a 460 again.
interesting. Wouldn't adding lifting strakes be pointless while the boat is on plane? I mean the bow is out of the water when on plane adding lifting strakes would increase stern height and lead to additional bow steer in turns. Reverse chine would be of little improvement. I could see a few strakes maybe T bar near the chine being added to resist lateral skid. Probably comes down to preference in handling. Do you have any videos of all the jet boat builds you have completed i would like to see how you have handled it.
@FR-tm1fl the jet boat I built was the first thing I built. It's 30episodes on my playlist & I did UHMW on 8⁰ & no reverse chines or lifting strakes.... I learned this lesson the hard way. With 550hp it still works but it's like driving a bath tub.
The last 5 I've built have been slickbottom fan & outboard prop boats. Personally I feel like low speed craft mostly benefit from reverse chines. On aluminum boats those are usually only pointed down the back 8' of the boat. at higher speeds even a 7⁰ hull will have the chines leave the water so lifting strakes are more of an asset for bite at that point. Sometimes even a small hook 2' in front of the transom to keep it sucked down to the water. After my first build I dove hard into hydrodynamics & what makes drag jetboats turn. Obviously that's the complete opposite end of the spectrum.
I build a lot of performance pods for outboard boats now. With a jet tunnel & a property powered boat pods can either increase turning bite or maintain a soft plow while only effecting a more level holeshot. I'm far from a professional in jets but keeping the nose down can be achieved with a ride plate however at that point it will begin to require more nozzle pitch......... just like anything with hydrodynamics it's all a give & take.

Looks awesome!!! Smart go on the mesh seats too, light easy to clean and comfortable. Did you sell the old boat yet????
I like the seats so far. We’ll see how they hold up. I do have a little concern about the mesh breaking down over time.
I sold my last jets boat in January.
😍
👍
Beautifull boat! you do very clean work. roughly how much does something like this cost?
60000-80000

Looks really nice. If you have Linex on your deck, does it need to be ground down for aquatraction?
It would be best to remove the lineX first but I realize how big of a job that is and it’s not something we get into. I have installed Aqua Traction over the line X on quite a few boats and overall it’s been successful. It must be ordered with Double adhesive. There was one or two pieces that had issue but were fixed.
Did you look into the "jetboat kit set" by thomas hewitt for any ideas on your build?...if you havent then you should check out his channel and his shallow water river videos...keep on rocking bro!!!
I’ll check it out. Thanks
So minn kota ripped off power pole? Guess it was inevitable
Or was it they bought out power pole?
great video. i want one with lessons learned too. the nose pinching welds seems a bit sketchy though. @42:50
I’ll work on that. Nose pinching welds?
Where do we buy one?
how much money to do a boat like this in aqua traction?
4k+
Will it hold a moose a bear and a caribou
I wouldn’t want that in my boat but You could have one built for that.
If this is video #6. Why is there no videos for 1-5?
I didn’t film the first 5 builds
What was the cost on this jetboat?
Around $70k without the electronics
