Hello,
Now in FL from NJ -In NJ, did offshore fishing -my area of Fl has tons of shallow water so I purchased a pathfinder 22 .........been stuck virtually each time I go out (drafts 11 inches)!!!! I said OK -I will buy a Yamaha SHO FX Cruiser -The salesman tells me that jet skis require 18-24 inches of water ????or you will suck in debris and clog the jet ???????....The salesman is talking me out of my deposit check ??----CAN someone please clue me in to jet skis and shallow water ====Any responses would really help me -thanks

2ft is needed in order to run the jet ski.

Even in two feet of water you should watch for weeds,rocks,etc. I am new to pwc's but this is what Ive read.
Hope this helps???

deep draft hull

Even more concerned=
Read an article that states this SHO is best for saltwater due to its having a "deep draft hull" ????
