Forward Center Console on a super wide 16 footer--Perfect! This is a ripper with the Jet 65. Planes easily with 4 aboard. Stainless steel impeller gives the hook-up you need and is WAY more durable in rocky rivers. Yes, this is a tunnel hull, and it's the least temperamental tunnel we've ever run. She bites and holds the water well when cornering too. Anti-feedback steering for safety and security--boat can't turn unless you turn the wheel!
We rigged this on an upgraded galvanized trailer for Montana's backroads and we added the options jetters want.

FOR THE FORWARD-LOOKING ANGLER
When maneuvering hazard-filled waters, it's essential to have the best view. That's why we made the 1660 Retriever FCC. This 16' forward center console boat gives you a wider view, a smaller draft, and the space to pursue your passion on the water. The ultra-durable, zero-wood construction and all-welded aluminum hull makes this boat one of the best small tunnel hull jet boats to navigate shallow waters.
