    I Know This My Cause A War, But I Am Looking To Buy A Boat For The Parker Strip And Would Like To Know The Good And The Bad Of This Drives. I Am Looking For A 22-23 Ft Boat And Would Like To Have It Be In The 65 Mph Range. I Do Know That It Is Easier To Do This In A Prop Boat. I Gues What I Am Looking For Is A Great Reason To Go With A Jet. Also I Have Been Looking At A 22 Stealth Ultra Boat And A Report States That This Boat Will Be In The Mid 50's With A Jet And A 364 Cu In Engine What Are Your Thoughts?

    Generally guys put big blocks in jets like the Ultra, not a 364CID. With the BB these boats will hit 60 and more. Fun boats. Two big drawbacks, high fuel consumption and not the best for skiing.
