Is that 6" dead in the water or on a plane? Once a jet boat sits down and starts sucking mud you are getting out and pushing. I did see a cool trick from a jet ski tour operator. *One of his rentals was sitting in the mud and choked up solid. He dragged it out in deeper water and jumped up and down on the back, flushing *the mud out. It took a couple tries but he did get it going i would imagine that if the mfj. is mentioning draft, they're like most other mfj's. So, they're probably talking 6" dead draft. |
