Aside from the shallower draft as mentioned earlier, jets have two major disadvantages to props.
1. Jets are usually around 40% less efficient at putting the power to the water compared to props
2. Low speed manueverability, you really have to pour on the power to maneuver the boat in docking situations.
and then the aforementioned cost issue
