Snyder jetboats

Have any of you guys fished out of Snyder or Rockproof jetboats??  I was wondering how they do on the lakes. Do they take on water when its rough and plow thru the waves. I'd like a boat that can handle the rivers as well as larger lakes without breaking the bank.
Thanks
Mike

Jets are the way to go, but on lakes you better mind the weather. I haven't had any real trouble but boat traffic and and wind affect performance. I gladly accept this in the summer, when I leave the others behind and plow through a 2" rip and fish the skinny water. My opinion is give up a little and gain more fishable warter good luck.

Guys, Thanks no Jet boat yet.  I've been fishing the river out of a kayak what a blast.  Archie 10K for a 91 boat is too much for me to handle.  I looked at a Sea ark tunnel hull that thing is a beast and would make a great river boat.  I still can fish the river with the prop boat when the level is right.
Thanks for the info and sorry for getting back so late.

i use my jet exclusively for muskies on lakes and rivers. pick you boat wisely and you'll be fine. i run a modified v with slap but my wife is not in the boat so i don't care about the bounce.

V hulls can be used with jack plates without loosing much clearance but it is not designed for a jet motor.

if interested, i have a used evinrud jet 40/28 with new impellar, impellare housing, overhauled carbureator and more - all work done at dave's sports center in doylestown.

if interested - email me at info@aafishing.info

rock proof boats are owned by a bass guy. one of my buddies fishes with him. they are really desingend for bass fishing but probably fine for muskies.

they are heavy boats. they drift deep but once on plane - ok

Chris, sorry I took so long to get back to you. I'm considering several boats one is a Snyder and the other a Rockproof. I looked at a Sea Ark but did not like the layout. The 2 boats I spoke of have a protective lining on the bottom and are used a lot by the guys in the rivers in PA.  If I don't get what I want for my Crestliner then I'll probably forget the jet for now.  The other option is to get a smaller boat with a jet  and have both boats. I think the wife would be a little upset with that.

Thanks
Mike

Mike, I am currently getting a Rockproof boat built. Myself Big D and Archie went up to Rockproof's facility to checkout boats he's working on and their progress last month. FYI, I think Snyders delay is over a year on getting a boat and Rockproof is probably 3-4 months so if your going to get one, make sure you get the process going. If you have any questions feel free to send me an e-mail, give me a call (609) 273-7756 or grab it at the meeting. These boats are expensive any way you look at it, but are worth it. I am still trying to figure out how I will fish the lakes. I am probably going to get a kicker but just not sure right away. {0}}

Just an update guys. I ordered a Snyder jetboat and yes it is a long wait. I should get it any day now. you will see me on the delaware anywhere from P'burg up to Poxono. it's silver with a center console. The boats are not as expensive as some might think and will they ever run shallow. This boat is very similar to the rockproofs.

Chris, I sold my Crestliner to a friend of yours. 'Joe the Plumber" i'm going to miss this boat it's an incredible Musky boat. Fish hawk 1750.

Congrats Muskymike. I have had my rockproof boat for 2 months and couldn't imagine being without one. Be careful of the really low water levels on the DR.... I've had to push my boat off of gravel beds 3 times so far (love that polyethelyne bottom). Good luck.

That looks awesome. Like the handle bar on the console as well as the trolling motor more center mounted. Very nice.
