Think this would fit on the roof of my venture?

Shame on the Coast Guard for certifying this monstrosity (if it is true). Is nothing too stupid? I don't think the insurance industry can shut them down as potential purchasers probably won't even think about insurance. Expect to see them doing "rad maneuvers" in your local marina.

Haha, that thing is wild! But I agree that it's got bad written all over it. I see lots of potential dangers with the crazies that are out there now.
I like the engine. My KTM RC8r had a Rotax engine too. V twin torque

Like SoBELLE says, it might be a little bit too heavy as a roof top dinghy but you could tow it (or maybe it could tow the Venture) and bring it the next Brats Gathering for us to play with.  |

This boat looks almost identical to a design Stanley Aluminum Boatworks builds up in Parry Sound, Ontario, Canada.

Darwin principles will win in the end. I would hate to see those on Powell...another obstruction--and mode of demise.

I've seen them before. A very expensive novelty that I would grow bored with after 20 minutes. I'm sure my bad back would allow an even shorter ride...

Not any more stupid than the fly boards or PWC for that matter. PWC cause more incidents and injuries than these things ever will. |

TOTALLY DISAGREE 110%. I had a Kawasaki STX1500 (I can't even remember the year!). I was probably the most prudent, boring and nerdy jet skier on the face of the earth! It was almost laughable at times.....Please don't generalize.
Same thing goes for sportbikes............. |

Unfortunately, it doesn't work well with humans. The people shown in the video are old enough to breed so Darwin's principle would not be effective. We would need to take the age restriction off of operating motor vehicles. Give the kids the keys. And it would still take centuries of chaos to have an effect. For humans, it looks like the only hope is to regulate through common sense. We are screwed.
