Are you sure thats it! Nzherald says its a jetboat but the boat for sale has an outboard. So it is not a jet powered boat aka jetboat. I suspect the media cant tell the difference.

I think it could be the correct article but wrong description of the vessel involved.

Quite right. Being a Jetboater and a member of the NZ jet boating Assn for many years, I have lost count of the times I have read articles saying "Jetboater" did this or that only to find out it was a outboard powered boat or jetski. If you cant tell the difference, dont report it. And yes, it was a shame that happened on our harbour. Cheers Stevo

He's not the owner. The company are selling on behalf of the insurance company. The owner has been paid out.
Read the questions and answers again.

Jet boat, outboard, ketch, sloop hey whats the worst that could happen
what gets me is the Q about how the insurance company have no right to sell what is legally theirs thereby lowering any outlay by them in regards to a claim and really what differance does it make if someone was killed in the accident you would not/will not rebuild that hull you are buying a trailer and possibily a hydralicd motor
