I wanna know what the hulls are made out of. They take a ton of abuse in that video.

lets face it if any one of us owned that boat we would never do that with it.(on purpose anyway) if we pulled some of those manuvers we'd have to go change our shorts. i used to water ski behind a jet boat and they can do some pretty amazing things. it is virtually impossible to flip them, you can be running flat out and just whip it around in a circle

These videos aren't to show what you will do with your boat, its what you can do with it without totalling it out. I wouldn't recommend trying these things with just any aluminum jetboat. most will cave in and then you are replacing the bottom of the boat or worse.

Nice. I guess the impeller is OK! I don't need reasons to buy a jetboat just money. Smallmouth is reason enough. There was a small article about Gatorboats in Bassmaster mag recently. That's what you have right Rivernut? It seemed like a beast of a boat- a jet with a Chevy 350! Its good to see they still make them for when I do have the money. I also like the RiverPro. Did any of you see the jet boats they have at Brunnelles? They had a stick steer at the Springfield boat show. Also a console with a 90/65. The salesman said they went out of business. Around 12-15k. Seemed a bit pricey considering (I think) a RiverPro Lo goes for around 16k. Oh well, atleast in my kayak I get a good workout and catch fish. Dave H
