Default jetboats

I have been running an 18ft Outlaw Bobcat now for a few years now and it is a skinny water boat. It has bounced off of rocks,logs,gravel bars you name it. The boat comes with QT100 armor plating the length of the hull. This boat has taken a lickin with no dents. I use this boat for hunting, fishing, and just weekend fun runs with the boys here in Drayton Valley. The service dept. at Burntwood Motor Sports in Red Deer is top notch. Brian
If you ain't hittin bottom you ain't jetboatin!

I know of 2 used Lynx's available right now and for those who dont know the Lynx is THE shallow water rock beater, its nearly indestructable and has a pretty feirce reputation in jetboat circles

If anyone is interested in a serious skinny water boat PM me for details

Cheers

James

Default Lynx tuchodi.........

Mud..........I've got a tuchodi and it does the trick for me. They are tough as nails and well constucted, all welded and not riveted like a few of the others out there. You sure don't need very much water to run this unit! The guys at Burntwood are top of the line, and they actually believe in customer service......kinda rare in this day and age.
