Mudbuddy is a much better option. The jet motor is a sweet setup with the tunnel hull and will run in just a few inches of water.
That’s a jet OB on a standard flat bottom and I’ve heard those don’t do well. Expect around 18 usable HP out of that 30 horse yammy.
Check Craigslist for a used BeaverTail/Muddbuddy type motor. I have seen a few killer deals there lately…
