There are jet boats I would consider. Like this one: [http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/1996-Advantage-Bowrider-SR-20-5-454-Jet-boat-open-bow\_W0QQitemZ180348485324QQcmdZViewItemQQptZPower\_Motorboats?hash=item180348485324&\_trksid=p4506.c0.m245&\_trkparms=72%3A1205|65%3A12|39%3A1|240%3A1318](http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/1996-Advantage-Bowrider-SR-20-5-454-Jet-boat-open-bow_W0QQitemZ180348485324QQcmdZViewItemQQptZPower_Motorboats?hash=item180348485324&_trksid=p4506.c0.m245&_trkparms=72%3A1205%7C65%3A12%7C39%3A1%7C240%3A1318) Not that it would be much better in the Niagara chop but with a 454 cranking 400+ HP I’d deal. ---

Not a snowballs chance in hell. Well, probably not anyway. FWIW I’m not saying no to a prop boat, just saying I do like jet boats a lot. The worst that could happen is in the fall I sell it and say you were right. Either way I don’t lose. :tup: ---

Jet boats are a blast on small lakes/bodies of water such as Rushford, Chautauqua (on a nice day), and Allegheny Reservoir. ---
