There was one on Ebay a bit back, but could be the same one. Looks like it could be a good summer fun day out.

There's some footage on Youtube of them with an outboard. Looks like a laugh-I guess the seethrough bottom is so you can see where you're going?

Suprisingly i have decided to reinforce the transom and have calculated it will happily take the new 300hp

It was the one on ebay and it really wasnt described as good as it could have been the jet drive is a great electric start unit with manual as well

Saw one at a local yard - looked abit 'odd' with an OB on it - much better with a jet , but why not buy a jetski ?

Several reasons I dont like them there boring and most water users have a great dislike to them and those that use them.It looks ideal to take on holiday to go round little coves and because of the small engine i think responsible child could use it 15 hp.Of course there are users of jetski,s that are considerate and thoughtfull but i havent had the pleasure of meeting one yet have you.The children can sea under water.I may even take the jet off(depends how good it is )Which will mean two people can easily lift it onto a roof rack.And use it with transom wheels and small outboard.
