Here's why we opt for an inboard jet drive:
Power
-
Our boats are highly powered for serious work & fun
-
Small outboard boats are power-restricted at the transom by both USCG Regulation and practical physics
-
Inboard engine center of mass location allows for a bigger engine without the drawbacks of aft-heavy outboards
-
This means quicker planing
-
More power equals more control & maneuverability
Tough
-
Inboard jet intake is flush welded to the boat
-
Inboard jet intake impacts aren't transferred to the engine as with outboard jets
-
Engine is mounted securely to substructure
Performance
-
Axial flow pumps are generally preferable for efficiency over wide RPM range, preferable for durability, hook-up, multi-stage options, etc.
-
Faster nozzle-controlled turning (engine remains stationary)
-
Larger intake surface area is less affected by rocks & debris
-
Widely available stomp grates for easily clearing debris.
Entry/Exit
-
Fully open access to enter/exit the boat from the swim deck
