Research 2018 - Weldcraft Boats - 198X

With the Snake River for our testing grounds, you know the lengths we've gone to prove the capability and unbridled performance of our jet boats. The Snake and its tributaries churn with some of the planet's most demanding whitewater. Naturally the 178X and 198X reflect the very best of Weldcraft's vast experience. In a 19' or 17' length that jumps to attention when you advance the throttle, our freshwater-cooled, catalyzed 5.7L MEFI-5 power plant is matched with an American Turbine SD-309 inboard pump (other pump and engine options are available). And the combination of a .250 whitewater bottom and 8 degree deadrise at the transom make this a formidable jet boat. But the X Series isn't just a superb shallow-water performer. It's equally adept at pulling skiers, crabbing, hunting, or parking at a remote river bank. Your knuckles will appreciate that. And you might appreciate the optional new decorative heavy-duty bow deck and swim platform pad.
