Does anyone own a Mokai jet boat? *I'm looking for a boat to navigate the Schuylkill River above Reading, Pennsylvania. *My research indicates the boat can draft in 6 inches of water. *The river is usually at least 12 inches deep. *A good friend has a jon boat with a 30 HP jet but the river usually isn't high enough during the summer to travel with it. No, I can't say I've heard of them, but did check out their website, and watched their video. Then I wen't to Youtube and watched what they had there. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=98yzDuNZqjk Pretty noisy. and seem really cramped. But it is a unique concept. But one must remember that when they say it will draft 6" of water, please understand that's dry. Start adding fuel, yourself, and what ever gear you may take and that draft will drop quite a bit. There is a local guy that has done stuff like this. (This isn't his video) but has taken light, small jon boats and has adapted wrecked jet ski engines to them. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xnJI0cKLh5E&NR=1 and actually they work quite well. I wish I had a pic of his. |
