[net.rec.boat] Jet Boats

gm@trsvax.UUCP (01/20/85)

Has anyone out there had any experience with jet boats? I want to buy 
a ski type boat and have heard that whereas jet boats are fast and
fairly powerful, the pump mechanism tends to wear out quickly. This
lends to costly repair bills. I have heard this is a real problem
in muddy/dirty water, because the dirt particles wear down the 
pump faster. Is this true, or is this a nasty rumor promoted by
prop-lovers? Thanks.
