Mine is a Kodiak 3 stage that is a licensed copy of an older hamilton.
I have sucked weeds several times and sticks a couple times. Does
not take much of a stick stuck in the impeller to cause cavitation.
Makes me think a lot of prop boats with small dings in the prop are
effecting performance huge amounts.




Jetboat Economy.....ha ha ha....you guys are too funny!

Isn't that an oxymoron??


I did not buy an aluminum jetboat for the economy. I bought it to run
shallow and tree filled rivers. Better economy than a jetski. My 351W
engine got me about 2 mpg, 3400# 21' boat. The newer 5.7L mpi gets better,
but have not really checked on the mpg yet.
