Getting a jet boat let's see your set up and ideas

I've order a 19' Firefish Hammerhead. 100"beam 7' bottom. Going with 6litre and Hamilton 212. Full UHMW. Should be fun.

from my experience, if you want a bullet proof boat its going to cost you easily upwards 40k for: full umhw, stomp grate, pump guard in a built hull that will take shit and abuse. from there is a endless drain on fuel as they are thirsty buggers and need to be run in the higher rpm to keep you out of the water and steering.

my best advise is become friends with a guy who has a jet boat.

The firefish is definitely the boat I would get if I could right now. Impressive rigs for sure.

What's your budget? firefish equals $60,000 plus used flat bottom $10,000 with a decent but likely older outboard. What kind of water are you running? There is no boat jet or otherwise that can do it all so you need first to define your parameters.

I've seen some decent prices on outlaws and eagles around 30 to 35 on Craigslist.
