[QUOTE="stinkfoot, post: 439661, member: 20555"] Do you have a reason to want a jet on a V-hull? Edit:I see it is not a V hull but a Vnose. Going to measure mine. I replaced my transom as it was a couple of inches too low for my jet. Now it is in the right place and drag and spray is much reduced. Initially I did think about a jack plate and a friend made one for me. The setback made my spray problems considerably worse. My transom is 22 and 1/4 inches for a short shaft 40/30 jet on a 14 foot jon. The leading edge of the foot is level with the bottom of the boat(give or take 1/4". What sort of hp motor are you loking for? I wouldn't go less than 60/40 and preferably more if you can. [/QUOTE]
