marshman » Today, 16:06[/url]"]i dont know jet boats but i used to run what we call a jump boat down here in south loiuisiana...
they are made to abuse...and lets just say i wasnt scared to put it anywhere... there are tons of spots in the atchafalaya basin that are barely accessible, inaccessible to any normal boat....
ive gotten hung up on logs and if/when that back corner dips and started to take on water, i was sure glad i was running dual 1100's.(my boat had a tunnel, so a pump on each side of tunnel)...i would have swamped with water and never gotten off that log...
that may be excessive for your purposes but my point being, if i take on water, i want it out as fast as possible...
with jet boat, i have a big picture of you running rocks...if you poke a hole in it, will a 500 get the water out enough to get you to safety?? id go bigger...
this little boat im building now, im skipping the 500 and going with a 750... i dont plan on taking on water, but........
