[QUOTE="turbotodd, post: 277713, member: 7376"] Exactly. It doesn't take any more power to run the jet foot. The jet just is a LOT less efficient in turning thrust into forward movement. But the beauty is being able to run in literally inches of water where your prop drive buddies, even though they're faster, can only run in a foot & a half. They'll be sitting at the edge of the flats or shoals when you drive right by waving your hand at them. [/QUOTE]
