stlhdr1 BUCK NASTY!! Registered: 01/26/00 Posts: 6312 Loc: Vancouver, WA	You ever watch something and become obesessed at Hello! My new project... You ain't got a hair on your ass if you don't want to jump in for a lap.... I've been ejected a couple times from the boat in the younger years, can't imagine what it's like being strapped into one of these things!

Rocket Red River Nutrients Registered: 02/14/06 Posts: 2533 Loc: Elma	Seems like being able to hold your breath for a long time is a requirement to drive one of those things. I would like to run the Skookumchuck from the mouth to the dam in one of those. _________________________ WDFW - Turning outdoorsmen into golfers since 1994.

ColeyG Ranger Danger Registered: 02/08/07 Posts: 3076 Loc: AK	Check out the Shotover jet boat, queenstown new Zealand. Pretty badass ride, beautiful setting. 750 horses pushing twin Hamilton 212's. Fun with a capital F! Yeah, yeah Ryley, sport jetting is lame A good friend of mine has an RMX19 that he runs "tours" with around here. Pretty damn sporty for sure, but doesn't side drift or pull plugs worth a crap _________________________ I am still not a cop.

Salmo g. River Nutrients Registered: 03/08/99 Posts: 13563	Looks like it's pretty hard on equipment. That drag boat racing looks expensive; don't even get one run per complete boat. Maybe fun, but it's outa' my price range. Sg
