[QUOTE="bulldog, post: 300110, member: 4592"] Once you go jet you will never go back - truer words have never been spoken. 1) always start in 18" of water if possible 2) when trailering you will be correcting a lot more than with a prop as there is no lower unit/rudder in the water 3) you will slide during cornering. Once you get the hang of it you will love it but in the beginning you will scare yourself more than once. 4) you get lower than average gas mileage. 5) make sure your impeller is sharp and shimmed correctly. There are threads on here to explain how to do it. Once you learn how to do it, always do it yourself. Don't be scared to learn either, it is not too difficult. That is all I have for now. As I think of things ill post them. [/QUOTE]
