I hear new rules will make it illegal to drive your jet boat onto your traileranyone confirm this !

might be a bylaw driving onto the trailer washes away the bed in front of the ramp after a time it undermines it

It's already frowned upon on Lake Taupo - for the reasons #8 stated. They can get stuffed as far as the ramp goes on the river here at Taumarunui. We (local boaters) put it in anyway.
One thing I like about that clip is it's not really a Jetboat.

no need to drive it on, coming from someone who has owned all sorts of various boats.

Why not! It's fast and simple, and you're out of the way in no time.

Because I prefer to do and I'd rather not risk sliding off the trailer esp getting the roller lined up. Besides not all trailers and boats are even capable of doing it physically.

Used to drive the jetboat onto the trailer and once safety chain on, used it to help get the vehicle moving until it lost drive once the intake gulped air, especially on a unsealed ramp.

And that's because you know how to do it properly:) And you're using the right boat to do it.

Doing it properly and gulping mmmm

It's quite simple john - that guy didn't do it properly. Probably just had the van sitting there with only the handbrake on. ie, looking for trouble. Hey - I've heard of it happening to guys with all sorts of boats. That was bloody funny coz it was enclosed.

No shit he didnt do it properly I'm not stupid, a plain retard at its best. I agree with this pal no need to say it :) What sort of moron backs their car in the water that far, not worth the headaches, rust been one of the big ones.

Still running a jet as a form of propulsion.

I hope you haven't taken your bottle of awkward pills today john-f. There is a difference between a Jet Boat and a Jet Ski, The main difference is; "Jet Boaters don't wish to share the same water and reputation as Jet Skiers"
And before you need to worry about rust issues, you need to taste the water.

Excuse me, that is a personal thing if they like jet skiers, everyone is different so perhaps you need your pills. When I have been away with the family jet boat, jetskis and jetboat people get on very well. So don't see what your problem is, arrogance maybe! They both drive similar, to sort that like to rip it up and show off! Thats fine if you don't like jetski's but thats your personal choice.
Lol taste the water, there is more issue than that.- .
