[QUOTE="turbotodd, post: 453643, member: 7376"] Seen many older 20 and 25hp jets running the river. You can hear them for MILES--and I'm not joking. Or maybe not quite miles but you hear them for a LONG time before you see it come around the bend. Many are on shallow running river boats that are specifically designed for that type usage..shallow rocky river. Very slow running but they eventually get there, and with lots of noise. The 30hp Jet (40hp powerhead) are most popular and even they're no powerhouse but being most are 4 stroke, they're not NEARLY as loud-and I mean 1/2 as loud. I rented one with a 25hp yamaha powerhead attached to a jet foot and you needed earplugs to run it more than a couple minutes. I hated it. Since then they've switched everything over to newer 4 stroke stuff; and a couple years ago we went back & rented another boat which had a 40/30 Mercury (Tohatsu?) jet and it was 1000x more enjoyable to run.
