jet drive ark. traveler

[one more cast]

A friend of mine grafted an 85 hp jetski motor to a 14' ark. traveler boat. The beast goes 35mph ,turns on a dime and will run in 8" of water. The best thing about it is he has a whopping $45 invested.

Re: jet drive ark. traveler

Thanks snapperbait, this guy just cut a square hole in the bottom of the boat and bolted in the bottom half of the jet ski,bolts every 2 inches, and then glassed the whole thing together so it wouldn't leak. kind of crude but it works.

That thing has to be one of the coolist "shade tree specials" to come down the pike in a long time...<br /><br />See, there is a good use for a jet ski... <br /><br />Anyone got an old jet ski laying around.. lol..
