Super cool, I always thought they would be cool as a little fishing rig. Ditch the pump and throw an outboard on it!:p

Kind of a cool back up for the kids, if your joystick thingy doesn’t pan out. LOL I’m inclined to go buy it.


that thing is rad!! The only reason I wanted a jet mate is they are highly collectible and I think it would be a fun project and boat..

To just buy one and be done thst thing is way ahead money wise then where I’ll be.. lol

Dave, you're good on the exhaust. The one with the LOUD exhaust is still ripping around Ehrenberg. Saw him this weekend... there was THREE of them ripping around the Lower River this weekend. Sorry for the confusion.

If you are thinking of going this route, they made one with a 175HP engine. It was much more fun, and I would try to find one of those instead.

Thanks, was reading the OMC Johnson motors were problematic anyway. I understand they made one with a yamaha too, but again a little low on power. The 175 Merc seems to be the ticket unless you want a Yamaha

LOL Im sure they are great on your back.

If I’m going to do another mini there was a cat called a sport boat that looked like a mini Daytona. I’ll track one of those down.
Get that and put an 1100 jetski in it.

So it looks like I'm going to spend more towards the top end of my budget on the motorhome program.. That said I'm not sure I have the funds to go balls out on a restore / upgrade of this jet mate.

if anyone wants it I'll sell it for exactly what I got it for 3500.00. or if you want somethings taken care of before delivery I can do that as well.
