[QUOTE="Ranchero50, post: 219412, member: 1523"] I think you are asking for the best of both worlds, jet hulls that work well in very shallow water aren't as good as deep V's in larger water. Outboard jets work well for what you are doing but I would probably buy a wider hull just because it will displace less, a 1448 or 1648 with a stick steer setup so you can look down into the water to see the rocks better and because it will displace (float) level vs. tail down like tiller steers do. My boat does well in the water you describe, displaces 5-6" at idle without any drama. Jamie [/QUOTE]
