[QUOTE="S&MFISH, post: 309113, member: 1229"] Hey newbie,your at the right place. Don't let the thud disillusion you about jets. You may or may not like that combo. Personally,I would not like to run a jet on a boat with a keel. In my opinion, jets work best with flatbottoms. As far as going places,I can go anywhere my buddies go with their prop boats. But, they would never ever attempt to go where I take my jet. Not knowing the weight of your boat,I would guess it would run in the neighborhood of 25-35 mph. I would also venture to say, that having keel,cornering should be substainially better than my flat. Also,I carry the usual assortment of wrenches,a socket set,pliers,grips,electrical connectors and crimpers,extra drain plugs. The usual tools any boater would have on any boat. With that said,I will never give up my jet. We enjoy fishing the rivers around St.Louis that very seldom see a prop boat. I also take it to lakes such as Lake of the Ozarks,Table Rock,Bull Shoals, KY Lake,etc. Pretty much anywhere that has a ramp. [/QUOTE]
