how do you keep from sucking debris into the prop most of the water ways I have are very dirty as floating debris sticks leaves and sand ive watched jet boats in action they can and do travel thru some very shallow stuff. I would be scared ofsucking up a bunch of mud, salt river loam! I always suspected that's why you don't see a lot of them in mark twain the filth factor but honestly I don't know for a fact

If it fits though the grate on the jet foot it will come out no problem leaves can effect it but they usually fall off when you shut down the motor if you are moving fast enough you don't have time to suck up rocks

Most of the guys here use them as gigging boats I thinks that's why they are more popular down here

That's what I have heard, and for the eating I love to fish but I don't care to eat it. I attended a fish fry one time and the cooks got wasted!! And didn't get some cooked all the way and I got sick and really haven't liked it since! I will eat a little crappie once a year but only a couple of pieces. Its a shame too because as a kid I loved fish! Its crazy I fish a bunch buy don't eat it I like catching it don't mind skinning it but hate eating it! Oh well the people I give filleted fish to don't complain lol I sewed up lots of trapping ground with gallons of fish. Couple of lbs of fish for trapping rites id say im ahead.
