GreyNurse Posted August 5, 2015 Share Posted August 5, 2015 It's certainly very different, Craig. However, I'm more than happy with my little 18lb electric I use on my cheap and cheerful. But if I won Lotto, I'd get one. Just to sh%t stir the boaties at the local ramps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Guest123456789 Posted August 5, 2015 Share Posted August 5, 2015 Those things will sell like hot cakes. I'd be interested to know the range, if it could get me to most of my local inshore reefs and back and the price is competitive with a small tinny I'd consider one. It would also need to be light enough to get on roof racks which is 80kg on my set. I wonder if you need a boat licence as well? Massive bonus if you don't, reading it can go to 20knots I think that means you will need one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kiwicraig Posted August 5, 2015 Author Share Posted August 5, 2015 Yeah - for sure you will need a boat licence. Would it be considered a PWC I wonder? I'd love to have a go in one for sure, but when I think of Yak fishing it is about three things over normal boat fishing. Peace, access to areas boats can't go and exercise. This gives you one for three... Two if you count trying to get it on your roof rack as exercise Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cameldownunder Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 I consider it a PWC, and by that it should be banned from the Sydney Harbour. Overpowerded too. Another story if it was running on batteries, and say 6Knots max speed. It's kinf of putting a 20HP engine on a push bike. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zook2001 Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 There are quite a few jet kayaks overseas, they mostly use Subaru air cooled engines and are noisy as hell, I'm sure the cops would classify it as a PWC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
