Does anyone have any experience with a inboard jet boat, made for especially for fishing.  One with livewell, bilge, and built to handle a windy lake as well as a river.

If I buy a boat, I'd love to not have to worry about running a prop in the sand again.  Problem is that most jet boats don't look like they would handle 6' rollers too well. 

I say to hell with that pot o' gold.

Since most people that buy a new boat think that the Rangers are the WTG, and they don't make a jet boat.

I owned a 16' Delphin Inflatable with a 40hp prop/jet conversion. After putting the jet conversion on I just left it on. I could run in 3 to 4 inches of water at full tilt no problem. Just leave your locking pin undone so the motor can jump if you hit something rather than breaking something. I ran mine in rivers, and the ocean sometimes in 8-15 foot swells...no problems ever. However an inflatable is much different that  a solid hull. Mine did have an aluminum floor though. Also it was an outboard,  I'd buy another one in a heartbeat.
