Discuss the Jetcraft brand of boats from the Canadian manufacture Harborcraft. Lightweight, rugged and fast, this is one of the most common boats on Alaska waters and for good reasons.

We purchased a new Jetcraft 1925SK from Ron's Honda Center in Soldotna. This was our first encounter with this 18 degree deep-vee hull and we must say it was a real surprise. The boat response very predictably in all types of water. From a dead start, the boat is up and flying as fast as you can drop the hammer on the throttle. This acceleration is added in part by the new Honda BF150 outboard spinning a Honda 14.8x21 stainless prop. The boat is somewhat under proped as the rpm will still run upwards of 6400 with the 21 pitch. The Solas Scorpion 15.125x23 pitch brings the rpms down to 5900 with 2 people and full fuel but the time to plane really jumps up there. Our overall choice has been to stick with the Honda 14.8x21 (58133-ZY3-A21HR) or the Powertech OFX 4 15.25x21 (58334-ZY3-A21CLH) both available from your Honda dealer and each performs very well on this boat.
