Chesapeake Bay

Oh that IS nice! I hope in a rolling sea there is enough freeboard when
the port is open to work in there in the waves without flooding the boat.
The jets are in a separate watertight compartment. The boat would float and
most of the stuff, including the propulsion, would continue to work even if
you cut a hole in the bottom of it.
One reason for this is that the water flow through the jets is like a huge
heat exchanger so the jet compartment gets very cold and there is lots of
condensation.
