{Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Re: Jet drives above Great Falls?

I would think a jet motor would be the only thing safe to take on certain sections of the Potomac.  A buddy of mine has one on the Delaware river north of Philly and it works out great.  I was surprised how little water we needed to get through and it also handled going up small class I and II rapids with ease. You would not want to take it out in say a shallow bay on the lower Potomac with mud bottom.  Mud leaves and aquatic vegetation will clog the motor and you will have to jump out and unclog it to get going again.  If you just intend to use it in rocky areas that would be the way to go.

Hey all - I was wondering if anyone has (or has experience with) a jet drive that they put in at Riverbend or other up river locations including the Shenandoah.  I have been thinking of getting one for years, particularly the G3 tunnel hull but won't even consider it if I can't use it in these locations.  I would love to hear people's experiences!

 

Thanks in advance!
