I feel more in control with the jets after adding the thrust vectorswe can put that boat anywhere on a dime.

Which is better jet boat or prop. Nothing fancy just a nice all around boat that can be used in lakes and salt water bays in and around. Jet-powered boats use the same propulsion system used in personal watercrafts PWCs that mates an inboard engine to a jet pump. Jet drives are best for shallow waters or where proprudder strikes are possible.

The pump draws. Ive experimented with. Sterndrive Prop Boats Comparing Jet Boats vs.

Posted July 31 2010. Comparing Jet Boats vs. At cruising speed the outboard manages 50 mpg 25 percent better than the sterndrive and 52 percent better than the jet.

A heavily loaded prop boat using a low pitch prop can haul much more weight than we can. Both are great systems and each offers advantages and disadvantages. Both are great systems and each offers advantages and disadvantages.

The amount of room in the cockpit of a jet boat is significantly larger than a boat which is a sterndrive. Jets have a very noticable lower efficiency. This means you could potentially operate a jet boat in as little as 12 of water or less not that we would recommend that If you boat on a lake that is shallow or has stumps this could make a jet boat a great option for you.

Yeah they will drop off ALOT on the low end though so if you spend alot of time idling around a jet isnt great The rpm load isnt linear like a prop it takes some rpm to build up pressure in the pump below that you are more or less just functioning like a inefficient prop drive. The impeller of a jet is generally a smaller item than a prop designed for a boat of the same size and being fully encased it is well protected from its environment. Its safe to idle through water that gives you 12 of space between the pump inlet and sand Gravel.
