Ben K. Posted March 23, 2016 Report Share Posted March 23, 2016 I wouldn't worry Terry. I don't see many people dropping 6k on a solo "kayak" that you can't lift solo. Looks cool though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Clifford Posted March 23, 2016 Report Share Posted March 23, 2016 Comes with a joystick. Looks like fun. Install a DVD for the rear passenger, and I'm down for that. Btw.....is there a jet kayak racing video game yet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terry Dodge Posted March 24, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 24, 2016 I wouldn't worry Terry. I don't see many people dropping 6k on a solo "kayak" that you can't lift solo. Looks cool though I disagree. I see this a a threat to small river fishing in the future. As far as lifting, that's what trailers are made for. Many of todays kayaker's use trailers now. I saw two kids on Judge Judy yesterday fighting over a 17 hundred dollar pair of sneakers, so I don't see the 6k cost being an issue. I agree that it does look cool and I have pictured myself zooming up and down the Kish in it. At 32mph I could probably put in at the mouth at the Rock and zoom up to the Belvedere dam in about a half hour to 45 minutes, but then I think, "So could any other idiot." and that's what worries me. I can see 'em now towing tubers on the Kish in one of those. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Loebach Posted March 24, 2016 Report Share Posted March 24, 2016 Silent sports are going to get more crowded. Nice idea but how about a boat on plane scooting past you in a narrow pool? Like jet skis they are subject to the judgement of the driver. Years ago Mokai made a jet yak that the power unit seperated for loading. I do think they are made for flats fishing with long runs to fish. Keep em on salt water. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Terry Dodge Posted March 25, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 25, 2016 Really you were watching judge judy ? Yes, it's either that or Days Of Our Lives and it seems Days has been stuck on the same story line for about a billion years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
