Yes, you can run jets behind boards. U may have to watch if you are using 40's because that amount of pull might stall the board. If you go to straightlineanglers.com or search "dipsy diver depth chart" you will see a depth chart for dipsys and jet divers. It will tell you how much line for depth, but doesnt take speed in to consideration. I keep a laminated copy in my boat. Good resource.
