[QUOTE="Darkside, post: 224447, member: 6899"] Lil Blue, if you do a web search on my name with the word outboard jet "chris gorsuch outboard jet" you'll find I'm a long term fan of Outboard Jets. Actually smallmouth bass, but jetting was a means to reaching them. I've been helping outboard jetters get their feet wet for nearly 20 years, most who believe the hype most dealers give them on how shallow a boat will go. Just letting them know that there's a lot of statements that might lead them into a loss or worse yet injury. What I am warning new readers and new buyers about is likely what you're saying as well. You're not likely going to buy a john boat, put an outboard jet on it and likely run the depths the originator of this posts needs. It doesn't mean that a tunnel hull or specialized craft might not push the limits of shallow water, but it's not something most step into. Apologize for stepping off on the wrong foot. But you know as well as I, that you need a great deal of knowledge to get the speeds and performance you guys are getting out there with your OBJ's. Unfortunately, those set-ups are as dialed into a specific kind of water as the tanks and armor we run here in the east. Neither would work if switched to the other's water LOL. -Darkside (AKA OBjet) [/QUOTE]
