Jet Sled Kits Flat Bottom Jet Sled/Bass Boat On a recent trip down South to the Carolinas and
Georgia I noticed many small, flat bottomed Jon boats. They seemed rather narrow and low sided for
snooping around the rivers and barrier islands in
that region. Upon my return I went to work on a
wider, more stable boat, which was still small
enough to tow by a small vehicle or carry in the
back of a full sized pickup. My purpose was an all
around, easy to build boat for both lakes (with up
to 15 hp propeller driven outboard) and rivers
(with a "jet" pump). A fourteen foot version of
this boat we tested actually planed with an 8 hp
outboard (with two people in it)! My vision for the
river was to float the boat downstream to those
spots the drift boaters can't fish right at dusk
(they can't risk rowing the rest of the river in
the dark), and then head back up river to the ramp.
Such a boat would require only a 35-40hp with a
pump. Good gas mileage, low noise and planing at
lower speeds. 14' Kit: 16' Kit: 18' Kit: To order call (541)746-5287 or fax at (541)

This craft has 20" sides and a 48" bottom. The
bottom is 1/2" and the sides 3/8". Thinner plywood
is available to lighten up the boat to suit your
needs. You may opt to sheath the plywood parts with
a light glass cloth and West System epoxy which
would provide an outstanding paintable surface.
Different than our larger jet sled , this boat
comes with two bench seats, floorboards, and an
open bow. An enclosed front compartment is also
available. The design is very flexible. It can
easily be made a 16' or 18' boat, or have sides up
to 24". The bottom can be as wide as five feet.
Call us for the cost of extra side height or extra
bottom width.
