Please complete your profile so we know where you are hailing us from.
I have no real answer to your question but be patient and I am sure one of members has
Do you plan to use 2 separate engines (one jet drive and one with a prop?) and put them on and off as needed or hang both engines off teh transom at the same time?
Why the need for the prop if you have the jet?

It sounds like a pain in the butt to have to swap motors all the time. Plus you would still have to shell out cash for the most expensive part of a a boat...The Motor x2. You might be better off just building or buying a good used smaller jet rig already set up for those times when you wanna get in the skinny water. I would suggest a 1448 with a jet tiller.
As far as stability between the 1455 and the 1752goes. You shouldnt be able to tell the difference. They both have the exact same surface area. Total surface area (not width alone) is what makes a boat stable!
1455....14+55=69
1752....17+52=69
They are the same!
As for suggestions.... I would think that a boat about 1655 or 1755 (lowe models) or a 1752 like you already have with a Tunnel hull, power tilt and trim, and power Hyd jack plate with a prop would get you the best of both worlds. Ability to run very shallow, albeit not as shallow as a jet, and still have the ability to run rough water and have the performance of the prop.
With all that said, The Lowe 1455SC with a Merc 40 or 65 jet would be an awesome rig.
