Fuel economy of older jet boats

wrote: I've read that the jet boat's impeller system is about 30% less efficient than a similarly powered outboard. Does that mean that a jet boat will get beat by an outboard, or just use more gas? The jet will have a lower top speed. It will burn more fuel at any and all lower speeds. Casady |
