[QUOTE="S&MFISH, post: 257010, member: 1229"] Actually,the pump 'sucks' water in as opposed to the water being 'forced' in.That's why you need about a foot or two of depth(recommended) to get up on plane, so you don't suck gravel and other debris off the bottom. The only problem I've encountered on the lakes is when the water is rough,you sometimes suck air,which slows you down. Once you get used to the differences in the way the prop and jet work,you should have a lot of fun with the jet. Also,get ready to spend a lot more for gas,as jets are nowhere near as efficient as props. In boating,I've found,to get one thing you have to give up something else. Hope this helps you some.
