Does anyone own a Mokai jet boat? *I'm looking for a boat to navigate
the Schuylkill River above Reading, Pennsylvania. *My research
indicates the boat can draft in 6 inches of water. *The river is
usually at least 12 inches deep. *A good friend has a jon boat with a
30 HP jet but the river usually isn't high enough during the summer to
travel with it.


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.
