Very cool little personal water craft!

That's pretty spiffy!

Wow! Put a spray skirt on that and it would be like having a motorized kayak. It only weighs 360# Kind of like a water born atv.

I just checked their site and it is actually only 100lbs dry weight. capacity of 360.

I would love this boat. Only problem is that they don't allow gas powered engines on NJ lakes. /forum/images/graemlins/frown.gif

Got a kick out of the testimonial from Alaska. As he eloquently described his motoring near wildlife that were taken by suprize, I could imagine either the elephant seal or that grizzly bear deciding after complete surprize that this buzzing jet-powered toy with a 200-lb chunck of meat was either a (1) serious threat, or (2) a wonderfully convenient gift of dinner brought forth for the taking. "30 feet away" and he said the only thing that would seperate him from his new boat would be "his death" and so the rest of the story goes.

For sales sake and product recognition, I imagine it's only a matter of time before some dude attempts the voyage to Hawaii in one.

I still like it though. A kayak for the disabled.

Be careful there Butch, you might (and me too) find yourself in some litigation from the self-esteemed challenged. We're not suppossed to laugh at people anymore.

A few years ago, while trying to find myself (actually just had some screwing-around time), I took a plastic propeller from a model airplane and afixed it to my WeedEater. I have now behind my canoe the SeaWeeder(trademark mine). A two-cycle outboard any Indonesian fisherman would kill for. Two days and many many miles on a quart of fuel, the bane of the local Game Warden (no registration numbers on a 13-foot canoe).

Stihl makes the best basic frame...there's a lot of torque when set on "full ahead steam". About six miles per hour (five point five knots). The mount is from old mattress frames, a standard pinned door-jam hinge my steering pivot. I set the trigger with a tensioner for "auto pilot", and extended the tiller from a broom handle, capable of receiving command from my big and next biggest toe so a beer can be held (and consumed) by my navigation free-hand.

Now, to Mexico to find some pet Squirrel monkeys trainable to pick ball moss from live oaks. Hell with no Social Security when my time comes, I've got some tools.

Later.
