Does anyone have some light to shine on this subject? Any
experiances? They would be much appreciated.

I've never owned a jet, but those that I have seen have been damned
impressive in terms of weight to power ratio. In terms of fishing,
there are jet boats what will go places that a prop boat won't go even
on trolling motor. And they will perform the same in 6 inches of
water as they will in 120 feet.

We have several jet boat owners here - they will chime in eventually.

For my money, jets are marginally more capable than prop boats in
certian conditions. Consider this - there are several jet boat
ferries operating in commercial service here and in Europe.

That's got to say something for them.

"Several" is an understatement......there are many, most of which are using
computer controls to increase maneuverability
