    Are there boats like Grady but with an inboard diesel?

    Hi guys,<br /><br />I am thinking of buying & importing a used sturdy American boat, like a Grady, but would like it to have an inboard diesel engine.

    Has anyone tried the Jetpac outboard diesel waterjet?

    I read an article last year about this new product:<br /><br />www.jetpac.us<br /><br />It's the first combination of outboard, diesel & waterjet, and supposedly works really well. If it does, how come it is not causing a greater stir in the market?<br /><br />Have any of you seen or tried...

    I don't get it - why do you call them "bass boats"?

    Hi guys,<br /><br />I don't get it - you keep referring to a type of boat you call "bass boat", and I would expect this to be some kind of boat suitable for bass fishing...<br /><br />Now, bass boats are apparently some kind of purebred speed boat, good for speeds up to 80-100 mph? Why are they...

    Smart Tabs, regular Bennett-type tabs or QL interceptors?

NautiJohn, Tabman, or anyone else - any advise would be appreciated!<br /><br />Here's a link to my type boat (hold the cursor over the thumbnail pic's to...
