Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Alaska Little Jet

All the cool kids have them.

Have watched more than a few roll onto a gravel bar. Roll cages sure are nice on those. They have scared me a few times watching them roll. Seem easy to get upright and a buddy drag back to the water.

For the most part glad they watch. They are as hard to see sometimes as a motorcycle and I do my best to watch out for both but in the end the safety of fast and small lies with the driver of such and not me.

They will get you in some skinny water.

There is a creek... I know a guy that wants to run it to his cabin. With one. I simply can't see it being possible without a lot of damage but then again you never know... they can get small and skinny for sure.

Yes it is all fun until you meet the other guy driving one in your direction…

My friend had a small inboard mini jet boat. We used to have a lot of fun just screaming up shallow creeks. Couldn’t really do any hunting with it as cargo space was limited but that thing was a lot of fun. I had a chance to buy it when he moved and I couldn’t because I’d just bought a sea ark jet boat. I really wish I could have though, that mini jet was easy to trailer and launch and great for a Saturday of exploring.

With UHMW on the bottom and a 300hp Seadoo motor they will go about anywhere.

That looks like fun. Hunting moose out of Delta we befriended a guy that had a mining claim just out of Delta and spent the evening’s drinking beer and eating moose stew while swatting mosquitoes and swapping lies. He had a Mokai jet kayak. It had a small Honda 4 stroke and small jet. He said that he could do 15 mph up stream and it was even stable enough for him to stand up and cast. It seemed pretty cool for what it was and it would be a cool way boondog from. I’m thinking about getting one for our place in Southeast since I could run directly from the salt up into the fresh water. Get 6 silvers in the salt and 6 more in the fresh…👍🏼

The aluminum mini jet is probably more fun.

Quite fitting, cause they are cool.

Now we're talkin', if it was too underpowered to haul a Moose it'd be useless.

I have seen two small boats haul 5 people, their gear and a fair bull moose in one trip. And they will go 50mph with the bigger engines and sip fuel. Riley has a had a hand in building quite a few of them.

A couple kids out in BB banged out this one in their 'spare time' from some 'scraps' they found layin' around.
A guy had given they the plans.

It was jetski powered, looked a bit heavy to me.

I've seen that boat before.
