I’ve been in both.
The intake on a small jet pump runs approximately $600 for a stock aluminum. Even with a tunnel in my Solar 380 I hit enough times on a moose trip two weeks ago to destroy it in a couple days, thus ending the trip. I just spent the last two days pounding rocks with a new poly intake out of Russia and it still looks like new.
If I was going to run water that was not real skinny the Stryker 420’s with a 25/20hp jet and a poly intake would be a good combo. They seem well built and the couple I’ve seen worked pretty good.

Jet Wolf in Russia also sells a rubber intake, wondering which you think would be better the poly or rubber? Also on a 25/20 merc 2 st.
