[QUOTE="Country Dave, post: 320959, member: 10344"] [i]I do not have any experience at all with jet drives so I just have to go by what the research says and word of month, They get shallow no doubt my concern would be how durable they are. Running that shallow you’re going to suck stuff up, that’s a given. Will they last, or are you going to be changing out bushings seals and impellers every other week? Tunnel hulls work great with conventional lower units. If the tunnel is built right it forces the water up at the back of the transom and floods the lower unit so you can get it jacked up…………………. :mrgreen: I’m going to let you be the Guinea big for this one BB. :LOL2: Besides I’m probably 2 years away from my next build.
