    Jet drive engines

    I am looking at a 16 Carolina skiff with a 30hp jet drive engine. I don't really know anything about them. Are the good? Can I change the jet drive to a regular lower unit? how do they drive and handle?

    Re: Jet drive engines (fishin fever)

    Yamaha lower HP engines are excellent and bullet proof. Had as much smaller one for years (6hp). Not too familiar with the jet drives but I do believe you can swap out the LU for a prop drive.
