From personal experience over 40 years " its always a little harder to get unstuck" no matter what

Note: I am the only one in the family to have a real boat, Father and brother both have Jets

Yup, the 10' dinghy. I want to see if I can squeeze back into a kayak.

Least the jet boat can do both
I wouldn't want to be at sea in a 141 but a 161 would be ok

Only if you like watching the waves come over the bow, along the deck and over the winscreen onto you laps.

For what Perrazi wants I would personally be looking at a 141 as its a nice compromise for river work (depending where you will generally be boating) big enough to take all that extra gear (and people) you seem to get. My brother has a 141 copy with a nissan motor in it with a remapped ECU . Its got bags of power without being a V8. He spends quite a bit of time playing in the Ashburton River so it works in smaller rivers too

Marine and General Jet boats for fishing, hunting and adventure. Designed and built by Huntjet Jet Boats here in Nelson are building small Jet boats but the ones I have seen you would more likely "put on" rather than "get into"
