Until you driven a jet boat and a prop driven boat it is hard to imagine the differences shock shruggy
The pump is trying to compress liquids, impossible to do, correct work You can turn water into steam trying to do that though, it is called cavitation and very harmful to the pump parts shock


And don't forget about the sneaker rocks hidden under the water!

I've piloted jet and prop boats & barges of all sizes and vocations, and this is where the diesels have a distinct advantage in both applications...they are built for those long hours of continuous load. Costs of purchase and install, that's a whole other discussion for another forum.
