I'm looking at gettin a boat made by uncle j and I don't know
Much about them like what kinda speeds you get out of the boats with 35 surface drive, toughness, warranty and things like that? Any information would be great I'd like to hear what you'd say about them

Check out the review forum.....and send J a msg. I'm sure he will be glad to answer your questions.

I get 28-29. Warranty is for ever!

I get about the same as dozrya. I have an 1848 with a 36 pd. J is going to stand behind his
work. That's doesn't mean "I got drunk and ran into rock jetty. Depending on what you hunt I would suggest an 18 54. I think most people will agree with me on that one. If you are looking for a skiff talk to Jacob(ten point) he is one of j's welders and a skiff guru. He also claims he can weld a dick on a snowman.

I fish a lot out of mine and hunt marsh so a little wider would help me

Duck I hunt and fish out of my 1848 and its fine. I would just not getting any boxes in my next one.

I just got my boat from uncle J and couldnt be happier. Everybody that sees it says it is one of the nicest mudboats they ever seen. I get 28 deep water and 29.5 shallow in my 1848 with a stock 35 gtr. Give jason a call he'll set u straight.

Thanks for the help. I'm looking at gettin a 17 50 or 17 52 with a huntdeck and open floor. I mainly duck hunt and some bowfishing just thought about the 52 for bowfishing but I don't wanna lose much speed. Sounds like I need to get the money and give him a call!!!

Just picked mine up from J last weekend. Couldnt be happier with the service and the boat. Havent run it yet (still painting and rigging) but Ill post up some speeds soon.

See if you can find the review on mine i aint got time to search for it.

How do these boats take a beating? I hit several stumps and things like that.

If I can't break it, it can't be broken. And mine is not broken

I jump levees, run into trees & ddb's boat, only thing to break so far is the grab bar, but that was when I slammed into the tree head on after hitting ddb's boat. Duck season's almost here, if you'll give me until then, I'll tell you what all will break. I aint scared to tear some shit up.

Forgot to mention, had mine for about 6 months now.

How dented is the bottom of your boat? I think I wanna ride around with you sounds like a blast haha

What kinda stumps you runnin?

I dont think half of yall know what stumps are.
(stolen from Owen)

i run in some places like in your picture its not an every trip deal but i wanna know the boat will hold up when i ramp a tree sticking out of the water in the dark! Most of the places i go arent that bad mainly because i dont find a lot of ducks around those logs. I do go on a rocky river every now and then and im just curious about how these boats hold up. I havent rode in one and dont know a lot about them all ive heard is good waiting for a complaint somewhere just wanna make sure this is the boat i want before i spend the money then make a 10 hour trip down there to get it.

If you run stuff like that on a regular basis, I'd go with a 3/16 bottom. You can still tear that up, but not as fast.

I've got an 18x58 Uncle J with 3/16ths bottom, with a 4500 Black Death Mudbuddy. Empty speeds I get between 28-29.5 depending on water conditions. Last weekend, I had 3 people, an icechest full of adult beverages, and all the stuff for an overnight stay at the camp and I was running 25.5 all deep water.

Please note the. YET!!
