Can anyone point me to a website describing a V-drive boat (or how it works) vs a jet drive boat. ive finished my Berkeley jet drive boat.(well, it runs) Im wondering what I should get next. either another 16ft jet drive, a v-drive, or a seadoo speedster.

The Seadoo Speedster thing will get this ball rolling,how could you even consider that? Overpriced I could go on for ever :)

Well I already own a Seadoo PWC, I kinda like the seat styling of the speedster, smooth lines, a used one would cost about the same as a used jet boat in non perfect condition. but of course it could never match the power of a big block retro jet.

I personally don't like the smaller twin motor gets... I do like the 1 that has the 4.3 v6 in it.

ok most v drives have only room for 2 seats and have a driv shaft between the seats that goes to a v drive unit......the v drive has gears in it kinda like a over drive to spin the prop fster then the motor is going so u get more speed of course v drives have propellers unlike jets......pics to follow

This has been debated many times before. Do a search. Much has been said on both sides of the issue.

yah but 59 will beat most big block jetboats too esp if they are the same size as my boat 21ft then they need that 400 hp 502 just to keep up at best.. plus when they run out of gas i'll go by the rest :boxed: :) :argue:
If i want to go quick and fast i drive boat in avatar :crossx:
