 Uncle J 1754 w/ Prodrive 36 *UPDATED 8-21-2010* MM Brand: Prodrive
Horsepower: 36
Boat Brand: Uncle J Custom Boats
Boat Size: 1754
Boat Layout: Large bowfishing deck/ Large gun box/ Pissing pedestals
Speeds | Shallow Water: No GPS Available
Speeds | Deep Water: 28mph
Total Boat Load With Gear Etc: approx 320lbs
Conditions Tested In: 5 mph wind/slight chop
Comments:
I have had a great time with this boat and have not wanted to REVIEW it until I had time to do the things I love to do in it. So far I've done just about everything mud, veggies, stumps, sand and lots of deep water. It just performs well, doesn't matter if it has a heavy load (3 guys, generator, lights, bowfishing gear, 10 gal of gas, big ole battery) or a light load it jumps up on step immediately. Only thing I have to work on is the load distribution when its just me. I'm going to move the gas tank to the front to help the boat have a more even load to it. I'm also trying to kind figure out how and what I want to sit on, for now its a nice cushy ice chest. Here are some pics. I did the paint job so... it isn't perfect but it matches the areas I hunt very well. I used the Natural Gear stencils but went with a different color scheme. Jason(and co.) you did a great job......THANKYOU.
***ADDED*** - A little video of some Lake Sam Rayburn back water. Nothing spectacular just some video.

Re: Uncle J 1754 w/ Prodrive 36 *Lots of PICS* Isnt that gas tank suppose to be under the Extended deck?  That may help with the weight issue.
