Prop vs. Jet on Outboard Lower Unit

[Mynx]

Hello,

Does anyone have any experience with outboard motors with the Jet-drive
lower unit compared to the conventional Prop,for the same power rating? :confused:
I noticed some makers offer what appears to be the identical powerhead with choice of either as final drive,typically in the 30-60 HP range.
This would be for a 15'(+/-) catamaran (Twin Vee,Livingston) style.
Shallow water access is the main reason.

Cheers,
Jay

It's my understanding that the prop lower units are more efficient than their jet counterparts - I guess it depends what level of importance you place on shallow water running...
