Here is a custom jet boat we are building for a fisherman who fishes everything including bass. Notice the standing platform and large aerated fish box. -Glen

I agree, beautiful boat! What does one similar to that run (pm if you would prefer)?

Such a setup would work great in the Rivers and tributaries here as they can get really skinny from pool to pool, slough to slough, as well as in the Lake. Child's play for that boat. I like the lights as we night fish a lot during the Weekends and Holidays due to the crowds.

A 17' Alaskan w/ center console and 115 etec base price runs around $26,500 on a trailer. This boat the way it is equipped on a trailer including a few items that are not shown is around 35K.

Glen: A couple of spec questions.

Overall length? Beam?

Alloy and thickness of the bottom and sides?

What is the MAX four stroke HP you would recommend for jet? For prop?

The reason for the questions a couple of years ago we visited my wife's brother who has property and boats on Lake Toledo Bend in Texas. I found it very disconcerting to be continually hitting submerged logs in a PLASTIC bass boat while bass fishing. He has been after us to purchase some property near him and my wife's aunt.

After that trip I started researching Plate Alloy bass boats and did not find very many. That is a great looking boat. After being in many Wooldridge's here in Alaska I am sure it could handle a few trees in a Texas lake.
