    Years ago I played with a Merc V6 outboard motor in a small boat with water pump (jet) drive, is that what your asking about?
    depends what your boating needs are, wish I had one when I was young they are fun.

    Huh, it's more like 40% power loss. However you can always stick a lower unit on it and fly
