I owned a Yamaha bowrider
It was a nice quality boat, Yamaha has very reliable engines for there Jetboats and the fit and finish is excellent. The big benefit is the reduced draft and lower cost of repairs if you do run into rocks. I believe the Yamaha jetboats are as efficient as conventional inboard/outboards. The biggest issue I had was low speed maneuvering and docking with the jet drive was challenging vs conventional prop. I did get use to it...
