Seems another Aussie has a diy kit to build them using a Superjet propulsion system from Yamaha. Looks easy as EdKennell Scrapple. I haven’t tried making that yet either. Maybe both on the same day? 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SylvanLakeWH 25,490 #6 Posted February 7, 2020 So, Besides it being, you know, fun...what implements can you get for it? ice breaker bow? sea weed mower? pull tube? clam digger? 3 point hitch for a trawling net? high speed tree trimmer? And most importantly, does it come in red? 1 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They say that you don't get older & wiser, you just run out of dumb things to try. That being said, I have never tried that sport sooo.... If you build it, I really want a ride in it Kevin !! My chiropractor and doctor can put me back together afterwards Edited February 7, 2020 by Achto 1 3 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JoeM 7,871 #16 Posted February 7, 2020 A friend of mine took me fishing on the Allegheny River, near Warren Pa. His neighbor had a jet boat, similar, but larger. I figured It would hold 8 people. After fishing in the morning, later that afternoon, the neighbor offered up a ride and a few beers, so off we went. Oh my, that ride was crazy! Zooming past pickup sized rocks and turning on a dime in, I figure in 8 to 10 inches of water! The ride I got was real similar to the video. We did hit bottom a few times and didn't jump any islands, but we were bobbin and weaving like a running back. And yes, bone jarring to say the least. I was a good bit younger and kind of enjoyed it.....don't think I could survive now. 3 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
