[QUOTE="richg99, post: 371233, member: 4376"] Now, I know NOTHING about Jets. On a cruise last week, I took a couple of pictures of protected props on the life boats. Since Jets lose so much power....i.e 60 hp is effectively 40 hp???....I wondered if using similar protection devices on a propped boat wouldn't give 90% or so of the rock protection, with an increase in effective horsepower and speed. Remember, I said I know NOTHING about jets. What say you all? richg99 [img]https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-SSTNgEDK-1k/VH5p5-UwJ-I/AAAAAAAAEtM/XOQX9nZ2rps/w767-h525-no/prop1.jpg[/img] [img]https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-gaXcFKDJ_Hs/VH5p6cJnHHI/AAAAAAAAEtQ/ZKLERkkKGNE/w767-h525-no/prop2.jpg[/img] [/QUOTE]
