I wanta say upfront that I have a 17' jet boat......don't think I'd ever want to change it to a "drifter"....

Why do you want a jet motor....if it had a 9.9 kicker that you were happy with?

Maybe you want to do what Clackacraft is advertising.....a boat that has a jet motor but can be rowed when going down river. You have to realize that the Clackacraft is completely designed to be handled both ways.....

Good luck.....be safe!!!!!
