[QUOTE="MrSimon, post: 317484, member: 5461"] I can't answer all your questions, but here is what I do know. You don't need a tunnel hull. A regular mod-v jon boat seems to be the hull of choice for jet rigs. 14' with a jet would be just fine. 16' is preferred just due to the extra space, but if you don't need/want the space, 14 is just fine. Jets produce something like 20% less power than a prop motor of the same HP. I think I've seen 25HP jets ..... don't think I've ever seen a 9.9 jet .... they typically are in the 40-90 range on the river around here. [/QUOTE]
