[QUOTE="sightfish, post: 451345, member: 18118"] So I've run small aluminum boats with outboard jets (mostly an older 25 HP mercury 2 stroke) and am looking at options to upgrade. As you can imagine a 25 HP jet moves a 16 x 48 boat at about the speed of smell with two people and wont even plane in most cases. I'm interested in a modified jet jon due to the fact that I [i]think [/i]they will run a little shallower, you don't have the jet foot to knock off as on outboard, and they have plenty of HP to move along nice. Here's question: We are going to be using this boat to access very shallow water for fishing which means sand bars, moss, rocks, and anything else bad you can think of. Since we are basically going to be beating the crud out of this thing, do you think we are better to stick with outboard jet? What about trash in the pump? Trash has been an issue with even the outboard jet where we fish and wondering if will be bigger issue in one of these. Any advice is appreciated. [/QUOTE]
