Norris Lake's network of narrow coves, rock-lined inlets, and sheltered swimming holes makes it an ideal playground for jet boats. Unlike propeller-driven hulls, jet boats use an internal impeller to create thrust, which means there is no exposed propeller beneath the boat. For families who spend their Norris Lake weekends swimming off the back platform or floating alongside the boat, that design difference translates directly into peace of mind. Jet boats are also remarkably agile. Their shallow draft and instant-response steering let you thread through tight spots that would give a sterndrive boat pause. On Norris Lake, where some of the most scenic coves narrow to just a few boat widths, that maneuverability opens up territory that other boaters simply skip. At Premier Watersports in Jacksboro, we carry Yamaha jet boats — widely recognized as the reliability benchmark in the jet boat segment — along with other jet-powered options. Despite their compact footprint, today's jet boats deliver surprising speed and capability. Twin-engine models can top 50 miles per hour, seat up to ten passengers, and feature integrated swim platforms, Bimini tops, and high-end stereo systems. They are also easier and less expensive to maintain than sterndrive boats, with no outdrive to service, no prop to replace, and no gear oil to change. For Norris Lake boaters who value low maintenance, swimmer safety, and the freedom to explore every corner of the lake, jet boats are a compelling choice.
