How much stress on an engine in a jet boat?

[LVjetboy]

I was wondering why I got this weird feeling of deja vu.

I came here to late. My .02, boat motors have way more stress. The only real victims here are the poor jet pumps. wink

I don't think the pump would be the victim. If you take care of your pump, keep out of the sand and rocks it will probably wear out 10 motors before it needs any work. Now if you were talking about jet pump boat owners being a victim, then yes it takes a lot of motor maintenance to keep fast jet boat going. But when some dude with a hot flat bottom prop boat pulls up and wants to race it makes it all worth while. Of course you better win or its back to work again. Do we ever grow up? I hope not...

Hmmmm...come to think of it...my poor jet pump, and engine for that matter, only lasted eleven years. Less than a dogs life I suppose. Probably would've lasted longer but I got the urge to upgrade. Then again, I only ran nitrous and aired it out when I felt the need. The need for speed...
So what drive you runnin' Luvin?
