[QUOTE="jta, post: 498482, member: 9294"] That's what I was thinking too. They are easy to maintain because you just hose them out when you get home. I sold this boat for $4500 a few years ago. It was really nice and pretty fast but just not big enough. [IMG]https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-zk6qgaZReFg/TEN4tKAdzdI/AAAAAAAAZ_M/HQQxImToQWU/s800/IMG_0923.JPG[/IMG] I'm not saying they are under powered I'm saying they aren't efficient, jet's inherently are not. With the horse power they make they aren't that fast. There are VERY VERY VERY few 75 mph jet ski's out there, probably as many as there are of actual 75 mph bass boats. Even the newer 200 hp plus skis aren't that fast when you put a GPS onboard. Not that that matters for your needs. On the other hand an outboard of a smaller HP on a comparable size boat will mean less $$ in fuel to run and they are easier to maintain if for nothing other than having fewer parts. Having owned and I/O and outboard boasts I would never have anything other than an outboard on a boat in the salt and under 35'. [/QUOTE]
