Check out this (Thing) Pickle fork do hicky. It look's like 2 jet Ski's ran in to the back of a Wake Craft

If you cant tell from the pic Its a boat that has 2 Jet Ski's docked into the boat. It looks like the Jet Skis Push or Power the Boat.

thats nuts. I have seen one around here that is for one ski. Looks goofey, but could be usefull. Well as usefull as a jetski can be...

No idea what that is but it could make for a very cool tender.

Wasn't there something like this in the movie Speed 2 at the end of the movie?

2004 XLE WindJet Boat with 2 Docked 2004 SeaDoo XP Fuel Injected Jet Skis

Looks like a clusterfuk to me.

I've seen one that's a deck boat powered by one jet ski. The idea is that you power around in a boat and then float while you swim and enjoy the SeaDoo.
Problem is that it was slow as a boat and did not have the room of a good boat. Well, that and it ate a lot of fuel because the jet ski was not running at an optimum load.

So thats were baby SeaDoos come from, awh the circle of life..

ilikebeaverandboats 10-06-2010 11:01 PM

haha pretty cool concept i guess, i wouldnt want one, but cool someone had the idea!!

windjetboats.com has a little bit more info. offered a direct drive to work with the jetskis at one point.

migs 10-07-2010 7:38 AM

haha - G - i drive passed that thing every day & wonder the same thing

mike3500 10-07-2010 12:10 PM

I'm almost positive I saw something like that on Baywatch. I would bet $5 on it. I just can't find a pic to post.

bac 10-07-2010 12:21 PM

You're correct Mike

My thoughts exactly

Bill K,
One of my friends owned an older shuttlecraft up until this year (he might still be trying to sell it and his ski). Interesting concept, but the positioning of the jetski in the boat made the seating pretty cramped. The OP is just bizzare. I wonder how often something goes wrong with all of the different control linkages on one of those?

mike3500 10-08-2010 1:50 PM

Diggs and Chris, the $5 reference is specific to my earlier comment.

Agreed. Docking, undocking, throttle & steering linkages, hows the thing float with no skis in it, etc. etc. One jetskier on their own is too much. 2 or more, plus all their passengers... thats a disaster.
Just a strange concept altogether. Doesn't surprise me that neither were very successful.
