[QUOTE="handyandy, post: 430671, member: 18942"] Also while doing this I swapped my trolling motor from the motorguide that took a dump on me to a minnkota powerdrive V2 55lb thrust I scored off the list for pretty cheap in like new shape. It has autopilot and the built in transducer I want to get the ipilot remote for it. Hopefully it will last longer than my motorguide did. I have a new garmin fish finder with down scan I still need to put in and will probably hook my old fish finder up to the minnkota's transducer and have one up front as well. This may not have been a huge project swapping a jet ski power plant in a jon boat but I thought it was a relevant one for anyone that may be considering swapping to a jet. As jet outboards need to run about 6" higher than their prop counterparts, and making a transom extension is something you would have to do. Unless you had a tall transom with a prop a put on a short shaft outboard jet engine. I went ahead and threw in the trailer redo as well since I was at thought maybe someone might like it. [/QUOTE]
