If you want to run shallow rivers, you need a jet boat. Jet boats come in different types and sizes, but they all have one thing in common � they depend on a high-pressure column of water pushed out of the engine to propel the boat. They can run in less water depth because there is no prop and lower unit hanging down to snag the river bottom. With the right boat, a highly skilled driver, and a consistent bottom, you can run in as little as two-to-three inches of water.

Most jet boats look and perform like bowriders with spacious seating in front and back and a swim platform. Builders promote a propulsion system almost completely enclosed inside the hull, reducing the risk of damage from impact with obstacles or the bottom. They are fast, maneuverable, offering an exciting ride and a fun tubing platform.
