Yes of course a jet sled,that explains it.

The Scrambler is a jet sled designed to run rivers. I extended mine to 16'-6", the bottom width is 5' with a 6' beam. The slight V in the hull makes for a smooth ride, quick turns, and a good flow of water to the jet. The boat hull is designed to handle river waves and the ride is smooth and dry. The squared off bow provides easy access to and from the boat and gives you much more storage space. Underway, the squared off bow never touches the water, so it is not a concern. It's rated for a 90 hp outboard and at 550 lbs plus without the motor, should make for a smooth, stable ride.

Ah Ha, I wonder if it was for ease of building? Maybe the concept is it will plane on the V and bow won't provide much drag unless it is traveling a low speed. Could be a bit splashy. How's the fishing been?

The V you see Rick is the hull,I'm talking about the bow.its flat like my boat(skiff/pram)

I see a full length shallow V maybe 15 degrees or so. Tungsten, take a closer look, the white interior is deceptive.

Boat looks great!Curious why a plaining hull like this would have a square bow?How will it take big waves?
