Otto,

You have something on your mind? I'll back you up ofcourse, and needless to say put for a while after your wife kicks you out....... [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

Otto - there is a guy not far from me that is making a stretched 23 - about 25 overall, with a Yanmar and a jet drive. Draws just 16 inches and costs between a SC25 and 32...

From their web-site-

"From full planed cruising to a dead stop within a remarkably short distance – it’s only possible in a water jet propulsion boat, like the Quonset Point 25.

Huh, why?

This feature is particularly useful when you unexpectedly come upon a wide open tuna bite at 35 knots and need to stop in a hurry to get the lines in the water. A very underrated feature to be sure [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

It's also good for when you have that pesky bro-in-law (or other undesirable) onboard and you want to make sure he doesn't ask to come out again - WOT to dead stop without telling him. Oops, sorry about that, must be a touchy throttle! [img]/images/graemlins/smirk.gif[/img]

Better have a good sound transom when you slam that baby in to reverse [img]/images/graemlins/shocked.gif[/img]

Better have one of those Aero Beds stretched across the stern when your boat guests slam their asses against it! [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img] [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]
