Thread: Jetboat - someone spend my money

Is that a selfie stick being used on a jet boat?.... I'm usually too busy holding on for dear life when my mates are driving to worry about taking photos!

Wait till they come to a sudden stop.................
We where way up the Dart river once, universal started beating itself up big time........
Old man was driving, I jumped over the back seats lifted the engine cover and went in beside the V8 to have a look see at the terrible noise.....
Right then the old man hit some shallow water ( in a big fuck of river....) and we came to a complete STOP.....I carried on like a Patriot missile for anther 40 odd yards before hitting Mother Earth real hard.....I learnt a lesson then that has stuck forever.

We did the Dart last weekend, took a relative new river boater with us. He was stuck twice within 30 metres of the lake

River runs pretty dirty due to the lake. The lake is pretty impressive, a few guys got their boats up into it over xmas. One is still sitting on the river bed in a deep hole up there though...

We hit a railway iron once that was just under the surface, it stopped us dead in our tracks, I got two black eyes and a crooked nose from headfirsting into the windscreen. Mate cracked a couple of ribs as he caught the windscreen flying out over the front. Boat had a foot long gash through the bottom right up beside the motor. Good times.
