[QUOTE="PSG-1, post: 232524, member: 6937"] The jetboat has spoiled me, allowing me to run in areas as shallow as 4 inches. When I get out here with the outboard, I'm not able to access a lot of areas at low tide like I can with my jetboat. And because this 50 HP has power trim, instead of manual tilt like my old 25 HP, I'm not able to gun it right before a shoal, lift the motor, slide over the shoal, and drop the motor like I could with manual tilt. I'm constantly grinding props going in and out of my channel at low tide, as I have to idle, I'm not able to just jump up on plane like I can with the jet. I have to have well over 2 feet of water to get on plane with the outboard, where I only need half that much to plane off with the jetboat. So, in a lot of ways, I'm very limited with where I can go and what I can do with the outboard. [/QUOTE]
