I have an 18' jon boat with an 18hp prop motor on it.
It is a light boat, and runs very good with the 18hp.
There is lots of shallow water I would like to fish in,
so I'd like to invest in a jet motor to do that. The boat
will handle 40hp, so does anybody have any tips on
a jet motor to consider? I know Merc has a 25hp and
a new 40hp that are both jet drives, and Yamaha and
Evinrude have 30hp jet drive models.
I really have not heard or read much in the way of
positive reviews about any of those, so I'd appreciate
any tips. Lots of money involved in these motors...
