Well i'm in search of a boat, and me n dad recently checked out a nice 16 foot tracker jon boat. It had a 20hp jet outboard motor.
I will be going to places that have lots of vegetation, like the Potomac river.
Heres the question: ARE Jet outboards able to handle vegetation, or will it get clogged with the grass/ lilly pads???
THANKS
BEN
PS: the boat is riveted, about 4 years old. I was wondering if rivets are really bad for the boat. The hull is welded, but the seats are riveted to the hull

I think the purpose behind jet outdrives is to run in skinny water. I have never been in a boat that has had one but I know they're popular at Lake Havasu in AZ to run way back in super shallow water on the river.
