Why is Jet Propulsion Better than Propeller Design?

Jet boats - or sport boats - can improve your fun factor on the water because they operate and respond differently than propeller design boats. Check out these four basic differences between jet propulsion and propellers.

 Sea-Doo Jet Boats use jet propulsion.
Jet drive takes you from zero to
20mph in under 2 seconds.

Stronger Acceleration Through Control
A conventional propeller design displaces water in a random 'shotgun' method while a jet drive pushes water using a more controlled 'rifle shot' approach in a single uniform line behind the boat. Nothing accelerates quite like a jet drive - from zero to 20 MPH in just over two seconds. Whether you are looking for a fast-paced driving experience, power for skiing activities or just cruising - this delivers the fun factor. Sea-Doo Sport Boats wrote the book on acceleration!

Superior Handling and Responsiveness
From the 14' Sportster LE model to the 22' Islandia deck boat, Sea-Doo Sport Boats handle like no other. With only a 270-degree radius in the steering system, you won't find a more responsive boat on the planet. Instantaneous, predictable handling that will satisfy even the most competitive spirit.

Less bow rise means greater safety.

Greater Safety with Improved View
Sea-Doo Sport Boats offers you the peace of mind to enjoy your day on the water. Jet drive gets on plane quicker and means less bow rise. With less bow rise, the driver has a better view of the water ahead and can react quicker to boating situations. Jet drive is quickly becoming the preferred propulsion method for boaters everywhere.

Improved Shallow Water Operation
With a jet drive you can go where you want to go. Propeller boats are forced to stay in the deep water channel but Sea Doo Sport Boats have a draft of only 12 inches of water so you can visit that special place, do a little backwater exploring or head out on the water even when lake and river levels are down. Sea-Doo Sport Boats give you the freedom to have fun!
