Anyone here running a JAE gasser?

[Zach Vought]

Have a few questions to ask before I purchase one.

 

[mike walker]

I have one. It's above my skill level but it's a bunch of fun

 

[Zach Vought]

Lol. Do you mind if I ask you a few questions about it?

 

[mike walker]

Not at all. If I don't know I will find out

 

[Zach Vought]

How long is the tub, and how long is the engine bay (from the back of the rear sponson tube to the first bulkhead)?

 

[mike walker]

the tub is 39 3/4. from sponson tube to the radio box bulk head is 12 inch

 

[Zach Vought]

Thanks Mike! How does she run?

 

[mike walker]

Runs real good. like it said it's more boat than I need.

What motor are you thinking ?

 

[Zach Vought]

Once I get my 90 finished, I was thinking of doing an inline twin rcmk probably the 520.

 

[Zach Vought]

Never been a gas guy, but the sound of an inline gasser is pretty sweet. Not to mention they scat.

 

[Zach Vought]

Just not sure it will work well in that short hull. I know @ 12 inches behind the rear tube to the first bulkhead "should" fit but it may not me stable.

Zach...before you buy or build you need to make the trip here to Jax. and see Chuck's run. He built one that he just plays with on the weekend's. I drove the Twin Inline JAE just this Sat.for him ,now he has made some changes to the hull obviously to allow the inline to fit. I am sure he would be glad to help you with the Rigger build. Was awesome weather here both day's...was hoping you might show up.

 

[mike walker]

Sounds like Stan is some one you should talk to

 

[Zach Vought]

I wanted to make it Stan and was in town actually. Unfortunately I was at the hospital with my mom most of the day. They will be moving her to a recovery home (nursing home) tomorrow on hopes that she will get better. Hopefully soon.

 

[mike walker]

Got take care of your Mom, hope all goes well

 

[stan simpson iv]

Well I hope all goes well with your mom... If you plan on building one,feel free to contact me or Chuck.

 

[Zach Vought]

Thanks guys.

 

[Zach Vought]
