Would it be crazy to put a jet on a Lund Deep V?

Saw this somewhere else and got me thinking. Would it be crazy to put a jet on a smaller Lund SSV or Fury? Not ideal by hull design but the boats draft pretty shallow. Sounds like a neat idea.

I suspect you might get less performance than you anticipate based on this source: https://www.snyderboats.com/faq.htm. Seems like a mostly flat hull (with maybe a limited V) is optimal.

I'm a big fan of Lunds, I have had a bunch of them over the years. But I would not use a jet on one due to the riveted hull. If I am running a jet, that means I'm in skinny water and may be sliding off a rock or two. You don't want to slide rivets over rocks as a rule. Been there, done that.
