Jet Boat Article
« on: December 11, 2011, 10:58:57 AM »


Each winter I spend a considerable amount of time repairing and tinkering on boats. Although most of this work is necessary I do find myself looking for ways to improve the interior storage, performance and overall looks of my boats. I just spent 5 days down on the Snake River in Idaho with good friend and Snake River legend Ernie Heimgartner. Ernie is 76 and has been jet boating since the beginning of this great sport. His boat is something else, a camperized jet boat is probably the best way to describe it. Everything is custom built by Ernie, retractable awnings, pop up tent on the roof for guests, chilli cooker for those cold winter days steelhead fishing, custom bar fully stocked, and the list goes on. I sometimes wonder how this boat floats as every inch has been filled or customized to fit something that Ernie might need while out on a trip. read more......  http://guidebc.com/articles/jetboatmaintenance.asp
