Well i'm in search of a boat, and me n dad recently checked out a nice 16 foot tracker jon boat. It had a 20hp jet outboard motor.

I will be going to places that have lots of vegetation, like the Potomac river.

Heres the question: ARE Jet outboards able to handle vegetation, or will it get clogged with the grass/ lilly pads???


THANKS

BEN

PS: the boat is riveted, about 4 years old. I was wondering if rivets are really bad for the boat. The hull is welded, but the seats are riveted to the hull
