Got this some years ago when I was boatless (desperate)...!!!



14' 90hp Sportjet.  Only made them for 2 years.  After I got it in '99, I found out why..!!! :laugh
It was good for runnin' around Needles...that's about it... :angry
Here's a shot of Mama at the Sandbar.... :good

Thing was TINY... it would cruise around 32-36, when it ran... :laugh

That thing could come in handy with our crew. :good  Like when we're at the upper Sandbar in Parker and one of the girls wants to go to Foxes to take a leak. :D Or maybe when we are in the keys, we could use it to pick up the pizza or take someone to JT's. :D We could call it Bubbles III. :good

Hey Shue, did you check out the video from Goran in Sweden? He and a guy with one of those Bayliners just tear it up speeding through canels and restriced zones over there:

http://www.badtoy.se/movies/bhoatridervcd.rar

It needs a special software to decompress it - winrar- you can get a free version online, takes about 1 min.

It is definately worth the time. They totally drench some unsuspecting people on the river bank with the jet blast! :good


It's a fact of Life:

After Monday and Tuesday, even the Calendar says : WTF .......
