Why should I sell my V-drive and get a Jet?

If he`s anything like me, he`ll find a way to make it work!
Never give up on a dream even if it`s just a dream Go Broke first...lol...
Hope he has as much GOOD luck as I have had with proving the Jet Hydro worthy.
Going broke, but making my point ..... ROTFLMAO

BTW..... I have a bunch of olds stuff that came out of a Baja...
The guy that bought it is installing a 600+ 377 small block Chevy. Didn't want the olds stuff so I have a shop full of crap to get rid of.....

Jet downside?....no steering without power. I can live without reverse.

You have Reverse uh, I heard they only have reverse in one direction and if the wind is blowing your ****ed.
RaysonKid take your own advise .If you need to be convinced then you don't need one ,now go back to the Vdrive board.
The worst thing jet guys can say is how cool the rooster tail is the V drive guys eat that shit up.

Yep reverse is not perfect but its goes only in and out of the dock at the Bluewater. After that I have a lot of fun picking on the tunnel jet boats up and down the river.

Your right about Do it right the first time *If you do it right, you wont have to worry about no steering... You`ll always have power! What happens to a flat bottom when he`s showing allot of fin and the motor lets go????
It get`s ugly
