Pulling jet sled with decoys or blinds behind boat

Has anyone pulled a shappel jet sled (for decoys, blinds, etc.) behind a boat? I figured here in the waterfowl section would be the best place to get an answer on that.

I crossed a channel a few times towing mine from a belly boat. Worked a few times, didn't the last time...

Personally- I wouldn't tow one behind a boat. At least not at any speed faster than a drift.

Stein:
Very slow in calm water it works fine.  It obviously doesn't have a bunch of freeboard when empty much less loaded with stuff.  Behind a canoe or kayak it would work, but I wouldn't get up on plane with it.  It will also have noticeable drag which could be bad if you are paddling upwind or up current.

I've used that thing so many times for all kinds of duck and big game hunting it's pretty crazy.

No but we do pull my kayak for a similar purpose

anthropisces:
I like the idea of pulling a kayak northwesthunter84. In addition to freeing up space in the boat, if something with the boat goes south, the kayak might make a big difference.

These posts are confirming what I suspected about pulling the jet sled behind a boat.
