Here's a beautiful deep-vee jet drive. Twin Yanmar diesel engines, jetstick control, so no handling problems 35 knots top speed. Draws 22 inches.
I would love this jet boat. There is a Hinckley at MVYC; beautiful lines.

No price listed, but I saw several used Hinckleys for less that $500K. One 22 year old for less than $200K. |
That is a beauty, I think he's maxing out around 80k, so he'll be a little short. On the up side though, Chaparral owners claim they have vastly improved the low speed maneuverability.
