Yep! That's what it reminded me of.
The jet ski was docked in a 'U' shaped notch in the aft end of the deck boat. Not sure how manouverable that will be with the just the jet nozzle. I think a good place to test all jet ski and operators would be just above the Niagara Falls. Come to think of it. Has anyone ever tried going over the falls in a jet ski.. Hint Hint.

They also had the deck boats with two jet skis tucked up in the back. Leanne |

In article , Steve says...

FYI - Bombadier and others make a Jet boat, based on the same jets. They range in size up to 20', and often had two of the old Rotax, or one newer bigger engine. Actually jet boats have been around longer than jet skis, I remember one back in the 70s, talking to the owner as he was locking through at Bobcageon. sdg |

Yah! I have seen a couple of those "jet boat" running full bore and I
thought they had lost there prop.. A horrible amount of engine rpm/exhaust bubbles and foam-- little speed. Keep those jet pumps in the hot tub.. Not at all efficient a a "Boat" propulsion. -- My opinion and experience. FWIW Steve s/v Good Intentions |
