 They're Two-Two,Two Crafts in One! A special thanks goes out to Member John for sharing his very cool boat with us. |
The following pix show us enjoying our Jettus shuttlecraft on the Banana River in Central Florida East coast (near Melbourne).  My son & I like to jetski, and my wife does not (she likes
boating & floating). We now have the "best of both worlds" - our 18 ft long
(8 ft wide) tri-hull fiberglass shuttlecraft uses our Sea-Doo jetski for power
to get to a good spot on the Banana River. We drop the anchor to hold the
shuttlecraft in place while my son & I take turns on the Sea-Doo -
meanwhile, my wife listens to tunes on the radio or the CD player and lounges
on the bow deck.  When she
& we are tired of the "happenings", we dock the Sea-Doo in the shuttlecraft
and either take a tour of interesting new areas, or move to a more interesting
spot to do more jet-skiing. We "turn a lot of heads" with our rig, and enjoy meeting new people who stop us to look at it. When we are finished, we easily load the combined jetski/shuttlecraft on our double bunk trailer at the public boat launch, return home, where we hose down the entire assembly, flush the jetski engine, and unload the picnic basket and ice chest.  Both craft stay mated all the time, except when
we are "playing". and we never have to beach the jetski in questionable areas
that may have rocks, broken glass, etc. Postscript: John Says that the boat has a capacity of five-the jetski driver and four folks using the 4 built-in seats. It also has many storage spaces, including space for water-ski and kneeboard storage. Two of the seats have built-in ice chests. It has a bimini cover, which They use in the summer to block out the vicious Florida sunshine. The jetski weighs about 300 pounds and the shuttlecraft about 700 - the Sea-Doo will push the package about 45 MPH, and rides on top of rough water very well, possibly due to the trihull design and a well balanced shell. |
