Thread: Show us ya boat porn

Stern leg was never an option, we use it to cross bars that are knee deep at low tide, and we’d never had experience with props, just jetboats, so stuck with what was familiar. For down here and crossing west coast bars it performs perfectly. It’s a seahouse hull, LS3 that’s been tuned & 212 unit with turbo impeller. We gps’d 101kph on a flat lake hawea in the early days with two people and no gear. Now 85-90 would be tops. It’ll comfortably do 80 with 4 people and dive gear, but it’s not economical to do so - but turns heads coming in over the bar or into the harbour on a flat day

Very nice anything with an 8 gets my vote.

As an aside how does the 5 knot within 200m of shore rule work on rivers and bars?
Presumably not applicable to rivers or thousands of jet boats would be in the poo?

That’s very cool, love the sound of the 8!

I used to have one that could do this, never tried it though!
Standard launch at Pennington, Natal south coast.
