bigfish1965 Posted May 12, 2007 Report Share Posted May 12, 2007 It looks like sea-doo bought up a bunch of ad space with google. I clicked one of the ads and watch about 25 minutes of videos. IF they ever make a fishing boat..I'm in. The turns those things make are crazy! I'd bet you could convert one of them into a decent fishing boat quick enough.....hmmmmm.

walleyejigger Posted May 12, 2007 Report Share Posted May 12, 2007 i'm surprised there hasn't been more accidents/deaths with those things, they hit amazing speeds and can turn on a dime, must be pretty easy to get ejected, people are careful i guess Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigfish1965 Posted May 12, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 12, 2007 I was watching the one video and thinking the same thing..half throttle and does a donut on the water. Dang. Hold on boyz! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northhunter Posted May 12, 2007 Report Share Posted May 12, 2007 I think a lot of the people who get hurt/killed on them are inexperienced. The jet/impellor has a lot to do with it - if you get in a jam and take your hand off the throttle as a nervous reaction, you just lost your steering. Someone who's a little more confident on one can turn on a dime and get out of a hairy situation. The momentum isn't too bad if you're doing donuts or 180's and that type of thing, provided your in the drivers seat. If you're a passenger and further from the machines center of gravity, HOLD ON!

easton13th Posted May 12, 2007 Report Share Posted May 12, 2007 The Seadoo's are the start or the cause of the boaters Operators Card. Fun but dangerous, Responsible people should not get hurt. Have fun play safe! They are indeed amazing machines, would love to see a fishing version. Easton Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
POLLIWOGG Posted May 12, 2007 Report Share Posted May 12, 2007 Its the age restriction that cut the accidents down. Some outfits would rent them to kids with no experience and it was an accident waiting to happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
