Is a jet boat worth the extra money?
I'm not interseted in racing at all .. but i dont want
it to be slow ... I am planning to take trips of 50 KM plus on them (one way).. so maybe 100 KM back and forth.
The boats i am looking at are between 6 to 10 meters long.
Only problem is that i cant decide on the engines
Also Safety is a real issue .. considering the activites and the number of people that are going to be on the boat. (wake, ski) 8 ppl on boat
Tow Capacity? on engines
Typically a jet pump driven boat, such as a Yamaha, is LESS money than a comparably sized and equipped i/o boat. Maintenance is pretty much the same for either setup (I've owned i/o and currently have jet drive). Safety is more about the skills/decisions of the captain rather than the design/features of boat (the safest vehicle, car or boat, can be deadly in the hands of a moron). Jet boats usually have two motors, so if one dies you could limp back with other. I/O boats typically are powered by one motor. Jet boats also have a shallow draft (how much water needs to be under the boat before you do damage), usually 18 to 20 inches. I/O boats vary greatly according to what outdrive is on boat. Theres no clear cut winner, just depends on what you want out of the boat. Do a search on google and compare.
