[QUOTE="RivrLivn, post: 371267, member: 4670"] Well the reason those boats have those is because the Coast Guard requires lifeboats to have propeller guards. The point of a jet is to have nothing or almost nothing(outboard jets) sticking below the bottom of the hull. Even with the propeller guard on those boats if you would hit a log or rock ledge at speed, that would be a baaad thing. :oops: [/QUOTE]
