[QUOTE="JL8Jeff, post: 425314, member: 12995"] The only issue with the hydraulic jack plate with a jet is that it pushes the motor further back which can mess up the way the water would funnel into the jet if it's a jet tunnel boat. I got lucky and stumbled on my tunnel jet boat when the guy just had it advertised as a mod v with 40 hp prop. I think if you wanted to plan out a boat new, I would probably still look to buy an empty tunnel jet hull and then put a console where you wanted it. My preference would be a Sea Ark 1660 mod v tunnel jet hull with a floor and then I would outfit it the way I wanted. I think the G3 1656 tunnel jet is a sweet setup, but the cost and the weight scared me away from it. [/QUOTE]
