planning for the future: jetski conversion or 60/40 outboard

[Wood_Duck]

I've got a 1546 all welded Lowe which currently has its max rated 30/25. I knew it would be slow going into it but I had thought I could upgrade as I go. My initial plans have been add pods, brace transom abit, and get a new 60/40. However I'm now considering a jetjon conversion and considering the expense of a new 60/40 I can probably get a large cc donor and have the fabwork done for less money. Only downside to me is giving up my tiller in favor of a console with the jet jon conversion. thoughts?

About the only benefit an O/B jet has is cleaning the intake when you suck up trash. Oh, and it's easier to just bolt one on vs. doing the work for the I/B jet.

I had a 14' jetjon and it had a stick steer setup. It was nice. Freed up alot of space

I have a inboard jet jon. If I could do it all over again I would get a outboard jet. The inboard has very few advantages (in my opinion) to an outboard

The inboard jet is very time consuming and cost prohibitive if you have someone else install it.
