To newcomers, the term "Jet Boat" potentially could suggest a craft propelled along by the a high-powered and complex engine that speeds modern aircraft around the world. Essentially, Jet Boat" is a normal boat fitted with an engine to drive a water pump or "Jet Unit". This draws water in through an intake in the bottom of the hull and forces it out at high pressure (like a Jet) through a outlet hole at the rear. Unlike a conventional power boat, the jet boat has no propeller or rudder. Instead, it is propelled along, and steered, simply by the thrust of the jet stream escaping for the outlet at the rear. Turn on a garden hose with its nozzle-end freewill demonstrate this convincingly and the feel, of its "jet" of water.
