I'm really intrigued by the jet possibilities. I know there's been
substantial development in this area the last 10 years, but I really know
next to nothing about them. The idea of hardly any vulnerable running gear
hanging "down there" is very appealing.

I know little about them either. Last summer a guy stayed in the slip
beside me overnight. He was enroute delivering a new 36' Hinkley to Key
West. Although not his boat, he also personally owned an older Hinkley
Picnic with the jet drive.
I got to shooting the bull with him and he told me the new ones were really
optimized. Before he left the next morning he showed off a bit for me in
front of my boat demonstrating the Hinkley's manuverability. It was a
single jet with the 440 hp engine.
