[@nickolson1764]

Thats gotta be fun!

[@JOKERWELDING]

Just doing some dredging with his V8 powered jetdrive... Nothing to see. :P

[@Dreaded88]

How the hell do you not rip off the prop, opps! Sorry, FOD out the jet-drive, nor rip out the bottom of the boat!!!???!!!

[@HKPSG1Shooter]

Dreaded88 Thick aluminum, and usually clad with UHMW for additional protection.

[@Dreaded88]

Is there a grating, and bars infront of intake?

[@Dreaded88]

***** Is there a grating, and bars infront of intake?

[@HKPSG1Shooter]

Dreaded88 On most jet drives, there is a grate. On PWC type jet drives, the bars of the grate are cast aluminum, and somewhat brittle, so, a rock strike could easily break them. On a boat like this, however, I'm fairly certain the bars are made of stainless steel, or some other material that is durable.

[@Dreaded88]

*****
Cold Rolled Steel, I'd imagine.
