Watching videos of the guys running jet outboards on aluminum boats in rocky rivers is one of the coolest things I've ever seen. Does anyone own one or have experience using one? There are places I would like to fish and a jet is the only way to get around well on them, but I don't wanna own 2 boats.

So how much of a handicap is the jet when fishing a reservoir? I know it will be slower than a similar prop outboard, but that's not an issue for me. I don't fish tournaments and current boat tops out at 32 mph and I don't even need to go that fast. I've read that they clog up at the intake around weeds and sticks, but I don't know how big an issue it would really be. Any experience?
