    [QUOTE=Sangster]C1...Berkley, Aggressor or Panther would never advise that to be common practice...I hang out at a few jetboat shop that repair more pumps that are tore up by jest starting them in shallow water..let alone running them at speed in shallow water... It's typical jetboat mentality....Hope some poor schmuck that has a jetboat don't take your little sermons to heart... Oh well...If Canuck1 says it's OK..It must be....... BTW.....Any relation to Kim Hanson....
    Sangster
    You are from the land of glass hulls and lake boats and drag racing... Mine is built to run rivers, lakes where ever. Tearing up a pump by starting in shallow water? no way
    I don't expect parts to last 20 years, alum is good for hulls not impellers. we are hard on parts if it will go through the intake grate it will go through the pump and I might have to sharpen the impeller. My avatar is a good warning to others as to what we like to play in
    I can't drink enough beer to be related to Hanson :rollside:

    So a few years ago we are camping at rollins lake in Colfax Ca.
    A guy with a sanger hydro jet is tunning a little & running the boat parrelel to the shore.
    My buddy Paul mentions to the guy that he migh not want to do that, she shrugs Paul off.
    A few minutes later the guy wades around the ass of the boat & falls in the hole that his pump has created. Soon after that the motor started to labor & die. The hydro spent the rest of the weekend on the trailer.
    I realize the river race deals are built to run in the shallow stuf. I am wondering, is the forward motion would allow the pump not to suck up to much stuf???

    He was running the boat stationary/anchored in one spot?
    Not much bigger than 1/2" will get through the grates we run and if it does it will go straight through. You do not want to follow to close in the tight stuff as rocks spit at you hurt
    The loader stuff that the drag guys and the lake guys run don't work on the river. The marathon boats run spoons instead. Mine is to slow to need either

    Jet pumps in aluminum boats on a shallow river or up through the rapids is cool shiat. I have ridden in them and driven them and that is what they're intended use should be...Bottom Feeder, I won't diss a river boat.

    Shallow isn't 3', its 3". Really shallow is a dry sand bar you have to slide accross. I realize that you are saying in the traditional lake sense a V drive can handler shallower water than they get credit for, but I'll race any V drive you want as long as I get to choose the course. Shallow water moves, has sand bars, some class III white water, etc. As far as damaging my jet, we'll I haven't seen it yet. I've run over logs, not sticks....logs, sand bars, gravel bars, even had my grate completely clogged by rocks. I've had to push my boat off a gravel bar just to get it wet enough to float. Only time its ever been in the shop is when I put some pretty sizeable dents in the bottom, had to be fixed with a sledge hammer. Never even opened my pump up to look at my impeller and clearances because I've never lost any speed or gained any RPM for the over 150 hrs of shallow water running I've done. I'm not here to knock V drives, I love all boats, just want to make sure the V drivers understand there is a entire group of us who are slightly insane and and run some very shallow water w/o damaging our jets-Aluminum Squirt

    Rather than "bang heads" I'll suggest making the Dana into a V- drive. That hull is off of a Hornet and I have rigged a few Dana 19's and Hornet 19's as V- drives. If you have more than 650hp (for real!) it will run very well, if you really don't have that kind of power, don't bother! The boat has full stringers and it needs only 'minor' bottom work to go V-drive! OK you guys can go back to your "fight'n"!
