Nice rig Rocket. Boy, do I like a Duracraft. Your gonna like that boat. What year is it and what size is the fuel tank? One more question, where is the fuel tank (bow, stern)? Duracraft makes a nice aluminum jon. I have three friends who own the same Duracraft hull. They love em (jetfoots).

I own a 1999 Duracraft 1860 tunnel with a Yamy 90 & jack plate. Mine has a 30 gallon fuel tank in the bow. In the winter I drop the lower unit (prop) out and put on a jetfoot to run the shallow creeks and low winter tides. It gets skinny but you can still get into trouble.

Aground in 1.5 â€“ 2 inches of water

Have fun with that baby!

Brian

Awesome Rocket. If my boat doesn't hurry up and come in I may have to beg you for a redfish trip.

Thanks guys.
Brian, it's a 2000 with 18 gallon tank (with a reserve) in the stern. I wish it was in the front. I've fished out of a friends Duracraft 1860 for years, and have always wanted this particular model.
BD, give me a holler if you need a ride. Or I'm sure we could work out some sort of a rental on the G3 until she sells

TC, just as soon as I quit chasing turkeys I'll be on the water

I also ordered a new Riptide from Speardivertampa, so I've gotta get that strapped on before I can go.

Take it Advantage but, let Dale's guy in the back put it own "his" way. We all remember Keaton.
