hey josh,i used one of those victa jets years ago. it was ok in the river getting from a to b, but thats about all,i never put much faith in it for some reason. it was very slow against the current. i wish i still had it just for keep sake more than anything now though. i have a 25hp outboard, but sometimes use a 3hp merc just for trawling, its a pretty quick motor for its size and super reliable. you might pick one up cheap, there great for just putting around, cheers micka
