Bob,

One company makes most all the outboard jet units in the USA,
Specialty
Manufacturing in San Leandro, CA.

You can go to any boat dealer that sells and services jet outboards
and
buy
a new unit for ~$1,500USD.

That makes a good unit for a 16' Jon boat (300-400# hull) but don't
get it
too heavy when loaded.

Bill, any shad at Verona?
Bill

Are the shad there migratory????

American Shad. 3-5# fish. Largest members of the herring family. Also
known as freshwater tarpon. Caught both with spinning rigs and "shad darts"
and bead head fly's on fly gear with shooting heads. I use an 8 wt flyrod.
Verona is only a few miles from Kiene's fly shop. Is where the Feather
River enters the Sacramento River.

Ah, got ya! Thought you were talking about following baitfish, like these:
