Think twice before acting, jet boats suck a bunch of fuel and most direct drive decent V bottoms will out run similar powered jet boats Some I/O drive V8 powered boats will also I know a local jet boat racer up here with a big C.I. Ford motor that runs in the 9.0 class, they have a bunch of very high dollar parts in there race boat motor, dry sump, custom race block with 4.695 bore, I think, and so on I've been around boats most of my life, from little 12 ft runabout 25 HP outboards to the big high dollar ocean racers. Most honest boat owners will tell you the two best days in thier lifes are the day they bought thier boat and the day the sold it You do know what BOAT stands for , right? Bust Out Another Thousand Have fun
