In my opinion jet boats don’t mix with rafts, canoes and kayaks. It’s the same reason they don’t allow tractors on the interstate. Many don’t understand that a jet boat can’t always stop or slow down while going past them and it upsets them. They don’t like the noise and commotion and sometimes it freaks out their kids and dogs.
I’ve only had a jet boat for 4 years and I’ve been floating for 50 plus so I understand their viewpoint. I try and leave them in peace. So if getting up at 3:30 to drive over an hour to get on the water by 5 and done by 9-930 is a “Nancy” in your mind then I guess that’s what I am. Sometimes the juice isn’t worth the squeeze so I don’t go.
