[QUOTE="Steven3, post: 352168, member: 14201"] I have currently been working on a jet jon conversion with my brother. The plat form for this build was a beat up 12' V-bottom aluminum boat and a Yamaha 650 wave runner. We have successfully installed the jet in to the boat and have been able to test it in the water ways around the house. the issue that we are experiencing are 1- it is plowing real bad( as if the jet is trimmed into the too much). tried to combat that with offset bushings on the nozzle angling the propulsion upward. it did help a little. 2- when it starts to plow the boat hooks to the right very hard. you are able to steer out of it but you are fighting it allot 3- can only run the boat at about 1/2 throttle due to the listed above problems. We are about to start another boat but don't want to end up with the same results. We are hoping that it is just a hull issue more so than a build issue. [/QUOTE]
