Personal Jet Boat

[RichP1269]

Does anybody have any experience with the Mokai Jet Boat? Looks like a kayak with a small, removable Honda engine powering a jet drive.<br /><br />Looks like fun for small alpine lakes and slow rivers.<br /><br />Heres the link:<br /><br /> Mokai Homepage <br /><br />What do you think.<br /><br />Thanks

I haven't seen those before, but it looks really cool. Don't know about the plastic hull, but other than that it looks like a high qulality product. The ad says it can be taken in rapids. I wonder what would happen if you flipped it. Can you barrel roll like a regular kayak? No paddle. Would the engine be damaged? Looks neat.

And the advantage over a PWC would be???

Re: Personal Jet Boat

Advantages<br /><br />Removable motor for storage.<br />Light enough to carry<br />Class 1 or 2 rapids.<br />Not being considered lake lice!

I'll stick with my trusty square end canoe and my trusty 3 hp. Evinrude. (tilts up out of the way, been dunked more than once).<br /><br />I can carry enough gear in that for a week in the "sticks".

Re: Personal Jet Boat

Wonder how loud it is? Wonder how much the engine weights?

That's really cool! You could use that in alot of places where you couldn't use a jet ski. Probably sounds like a generator...
