I've been on the Dart a couple of times with Wilderness Jet. Once coming off the Reece/Dart tracks January 2000, and then on one of their safari trips a couple of years later. He did take us into a wee spur, but it was not as narrow as the one you guys explored, and our boat was way too big anyway. Coming off the Dart track is one of the most memorable experiences of my life, and had me me laughing hysterically all the way to Glenorchy.

How do you guys travel al the waterways and never wet a line? There has to be great fishing here. I hunt Moose and Elk and go in for 30 days or more and the woods and rivers are like a super market if you know where to look. Love being alone with nature. Last trip was for 43 days alone and did well. TKS

Any company building or importing these boats to Europe? I was looking for one a couple of years ago but could only find them in 'down under' or US/CA. Bought a Seadoo Spark when they were released instead. Weird that none build a jetski in aluminium also. I don't like the idea of fiber laminate cracking and getting 'water sick'.

Aluminum on the bottom of the boats or are they reinforced??
@konstantinivanov1986 7 жыл бұрын
Dan Very strong stainless steel plates with reinforcing ribs usually almost indestructible unless you try rel hard. Also they pretty much glide on top you can go in 2 inches of water with rocky bottom no problem

@cairnzyj09 6 жыл бұрын
Different water toys for different purposes. These mini boats mostly run jet ski running gear out of any make and model ski - honda, kawa, yamaha, seadoo - they've all been used or are being used here. I've seen all types of running gear - 2 strokes are cheaper to buy and rebuild, lighter, fairly simple to transplant, 4 strokes are way more expensive to buy, probably a bit more reliable and definitely more fuel efficient but very expensive to rebuild. That said there are plenty of guys running 4 stroke ski set ups. Small car motors out of suzuki swifts and the like are also popular. Most guys upgrade the jet ski units to handle stones and gravel going through them - standard jet ski units aren't designed for that kind of abuse. Or they buy a mini unit some jet boat builders here make. A glass jetski probably wouldn't last one trip up that river, they're not designed to be used in shallow gravel bottomed rivers, they'd be holed/damaged pretty quickly. Some guys have build pontoon alloy jet boats running jet ski gear for out at sea and up rivers, more multi use but way more expensive. It all comes down to what the owner really wants in a toy. BTW, we have a jet boat and four stroke jet ski so have vast experience in both - and on that river.
@MarkBrown-qh9iu 6 жыл бұрын
Only good thing about the honda jet ski is the running gear, throw the hull out and put the running gear into a jet boat like in my videos!
