Few things in the world measure up to the thrill and satisfaction of boating in a boat that you built.

Ah crap!

You know, I fear Jet-Ski drivers more than I fear rocks, logs, or any other boats. Its like people check their brains on the shore when they head out on a Jet-ski.

Not saying everyone.. but that photo is all too familiar.

Logs are smarter than some Jetski drivers, and better trained !

Self-starting jet-ski? Seems henky to me.. someone must have messed with the system.

I liked the suggestion in the comments below the article...

just seal around it, and use it as a side thruster for easier docking in tight spaces.
