Yamaha jet boat vs i/o. See the differences in ride quality between a jet boat and sterndrive powered boat. Maneuverability You will notice we put an asterisk by this one because this DOES NOT APPLY TO ALL JET BOATS. The jet also carries three more gallons of fuel because it has a different tank shape to accommodate its required in-tank fuel pump.

Yamaha had clean-out plugs in the swim platform so they at least are making an effort to help the owners out in this regard when you suck stuff up and you will. The outboards transom makes that boat 2 inches shorter than the sterndrive. The Yamaha is a tick slower the Bayliner much slower and the Sea Ray lags 4 seconds behind.

The boat is steered by a movable nozzle that aims the stream of water left or right. In my opinion Jet boats will out-maneuver any prop driven boat at any speed. We do a lot of tubingwakeboarding and were pretty used to burning fuel.

Yamahas Articulating Keel moves and tracks through the water in perfect relation to the jet pump. The jet boats are also faster both topping out at 51 mph while the outboards reached just over 40 mph. Extremely manuvrable at high speeds.

They have the conventional propellers so very unsafe. With that said The fit and finish appear better on the Yamahas to me. I can turn mine 360 degrees within its own length.
