[QUOTE="Scottinva, post: 191528, member: 4987"] If you are buying a new motor, you may want to look at who makes factory jets or "jet ready" motors - without the prop lower unit. I know Merc and Yamaha make factory jets. When I bought my Etec, I got the prop lower unit on it and had to convert to a jet. I wanted the prop too in case I wanted to swap back and forth but to date I haven't done that. I am not sure if Evinrude will sell a jet ready model or if they now make a factory jet. It does add to the cost if you have to buy the prop lower unit and the jet as well. In my area, there isn't much of a need for a lower unit for a new motor - most that are damaged are replaced under insurance claims and are bought new from what I hear. Scott [/QUOTE]
