    Neat.

    I've got a Mercury outboard jet for my jon boat. I'd like to see the mechanics of that electric jet kayak and how it's remotely controlled.

      So much for stealth fishing. Those jets make a lot of turbulence and noise.

            Jets Lose Efficiency

            I know that gasoline powered outboard jet engines lose about 33% of their horsepower compared to a regular prop engine. So a 30 horsepower prop engine will only equate to about a 20 horsepower jet. So unless this thing is somehow more efficient, I would think that a Torqueedo would do the job more efficiently for you.

            I've seen videos of a gas powered jet kayak. Very cool, but not cheap.

                I'm glad I played the video. Otherwise, I thought that guy had Mexican food the night before.
