Cool video. I’m curious where your spray is along the hull when on plane. Basically at what point on the hull is out of the water on plane? I look to configure a kingfisher the same way you have in the future.
Curious about your trailer? That's probably the only think that I don't care for. Seems like I've made tons of adjustments and still can't get it to load easily. I have to crank it up into the saddle. My old boat it was spot on.
@@jaywebguy yea I havent had to much trouble with loading issues but roads here in Labrador are like a goat path where we fish and hunt so trailer gets a trimming hahah our boat launches are not the best,so I tend to have the bunks just under the water and then I force boat right up,I might have to ratchet her up about a foot then,side winds are a nuisance at most of our boat launches so easier to just force her on
I notice that the throttle is on the dash. It seems so un natural and inconvenient to reach forward like that. I would think they would figure out a way to get that throttle on your SIDE. My boat is the same way, these controllers are not made to side mount. Do you find that to be the case?? I am thinking about Wooldridge vs Kingfisher vs SJX. The Wooldridge is a lot more utilitarian, without the cabinets, doors, etc. I don't know if I like that, this kingfisher seems more refined on the inside.
What type of fishing do you do? Looks like the layout would suck for smallmouth or bass type fishing. I'm curious because I looked at walk-thru type boats before buying my boat, but just couldn't make sense of fishing out them.
Funny enough I mainly fish for smallies on the snake river. I love it. You can fish 2 or 3 guys up front and few out the back easily. The front deck is huge. Best part is wit the shallow design I can get it into some crazy places.
@@LeafsFanXD Anything, in particular, you'd like to see? I thought about doing an update on the boat now that I've got a ton of time on it. This fall, I'm going to be installing a stereo system and I want to reinforce the front where the plate for the trolling motor goes. Underload the trolling motor plate flexes more then I would like it to.
@@jaywebguy that is slimy over there. How is the get up and go with that? FYI, canyon charged me $1500 for a full service on my boat a few years ago, they didn’t do a single thing. When I got it home I pulled the impeller and it was still hardened, oil has not been changed, hub’s has not been repacked etc. I hope your luck has been better.
@@dhbikerczar Wish I could post a picture here. I took one when I got home last night before cleaning the hull, it was nasty. Being out for 4 hours on the river and it had a nice build up of sludge from sitting in the water, while we fished. Canyon Marine has a new owner. I would have raised hell if they did that, but with my old boat, they seemed to always have done what they said they would. Loaded down with 5 of us and a full 40 gallons of fuel, the boat has no problem popping up on plain and cruising around 38 mph up river at about 3750 rpms. Last night we were doing about 46 on the way back down river. We stayed out after dark so I could test my new light bars and their quick disconnect setup. Message me if you want to go out in it. I'm out a few times a week.
It cruises at about 40 upriver. I've had it up to about 50mph. Don't know the specifics on fuel consumption but it does better than my old thunderjet with the 4.3 v6.
Cool video.

On plane, probably just the bottom of the painted hull. Course how much weight you have in it will make a difference. It runs shallow.
Yea got the 2stroke like her,about 500 hours now,loves it but the oil man haha she drinks it

@@jaywebguy Thanks for taking the time to reply. It's sweet boat. Catch 'em up!
Great boat!
What degree is the hull at the transom?
Thanks.
Here's a link to the specs on the boat kingfisherboats.com/boats/2175-extreme-shallow-indmar/
What’s the base price on the basic model on the xtreme shallow 2175? I’ve always been interested in owning one.
Not sure. I know it's gone up since I ordered mine.
@@jaywebguy It does seem like everything is inflating. Do you have more videos of your jetboat. Tiktok perhaps?

I'm in Pokey, are you on the east or west end of the state?
Between Caldwell and Marsing.

Can u order one to have a Honda K motor or J motor?
How fast is it? how thirsty is it?

How do you like it compared to your thundejet? Stuck between the two. Find the 2.3 underpowered?
Ford doesn't make a 4.3
2.3
