    Anyone ever seen one of these before? Its a little jet boat. Thought it was a stick drive at first but got to take a closer look at it as the guy parked it on the beach next to us. Never seen anything like it before. What I do know about it is that I want one.

    Looks neat, just don’t hit anything solid with it. Strange place for a throttle.

    I wonder how light it is, I would like to portage that thing into some of these walk in only lakes up here. It would definintly beat a float tube.

    Would guess its not very light. Figure a motor in there and some thick fiber glass.

    Wish I could of gotten a chance to talk to the owner about it. Not sure how the steering, throttle works. Push forward or reverse is your speed and side to side is steering? Maybe the red button on it is the throttle?

    Thinking about it I be the red button is a safety switch so you dont just bump the stick or have something fall on it and it takes off. Good chance that button would have to go.

    Dont you watch movies? Its clearly obvious the red button launches the torpedos.
