    Stern leg was never an option, we use it to cross bars that are knee deep at low tide, and we’d never had experience with props, just jetboats, so stuck with what was familiar. For down here and crossing west coast bars it performs perfectly. It’s a seahouse hull, LS3 that’s been tuned & 212 unit with turbo impeller. We gps’d 101kph on a flat lake hawea in the early days with two people and no gear. Now 85-90 would be tops. It’ll comfortably do 80 with 4 people and dive gear, but it’s not economical to do so - but turns heads coming in over the bar or into the harbour on a flat day

    Very nice anything with an 8 gets my vote.

    As an aside how does the 5 knot within 200m of shore rule work on rivers and bars?
    Presumably not applicable to rivers or thousands of jet boats would be in the poo?

    That’s very cool, love the sound of the 8!

    I used to have one that could do this, never tried it though!

    Goes ok. Most people that come on it are impressed by its handling in the sea. It’s very solid but very nimble for a bigger boat, launching is a breeze, can handle it solo easy enough too. That was before a muffler was installed, it was quite loud and talking while on route was impossible.

    That river at low tide you can cross with gumboots on. We’ve only come in there at low tide a couple of times.

    Not sure of the legalities there regarding speeds over bars. There are obviously rivers that are open, certain rivers that have official ‘liftings’ generally only for jet boat association members, and rivers that are completely closed. That info is generally easy to find. In the cases of our bars here, the chance of actually seeing/meeting another boat is fairly minimal anyway, particularly at mid-low tide.

    For a bit of reference my (old now but new at the time) gp1300r injected twostoke was rated to burn 60l per hour at full throttle at 165hp......I found that to be very accurate racing around bouys(full throttle 100% of the time) but on the same ski could cruise the entire abletasman+sightseeing two up for around 40l for 6hours

    there is varing efficiency's of different hulls engines etc but nowadays the actual horsepower produced and fuel burn per hour is very very close for modern injected engines.

    My current 40hp on a 4.5m boat burns the same/more than a lot of 5.5m-6m with modern injected 90-150hp engines but mine fits in my shed and I could afford to buy it which is a massive bonus for me.
    mine will burn less per hour but mine cruises at 16-18 knots instead of 25-30knt...going any distance its cheaper(not to mention quicker/safer/dryer/more comfortable) in the bigger boat but hey I still catch fish
