This could be in sports, entertainment, or some esoteric outdoors thread, but since we don't have one, check out this cool boat.
http://www.mokai.com/video-preview.htmli want one, though. goddman you , merc. damn you to hellllllllllll.
i would only need one.....i could tow jinx and the kids back up stream.
this actually makes me wonder whether a hydrojet motor would be available cheaper that could be attached to a kayak safely.
It's a cross between a kayak and a jet ski. Sweet.

Maybe, but I don't think it would have the same degree of lateral stability. I like the way this one is so stable.
Oh, yeah, that would work in the river behind my place! Sweet.
It used to be that if you wanted to get away from it all for some peace and quiet, you could go to some remote stream with your kayak. Leave all the trappings of city life behind.
Now the loud motorboats can follow you there too.
I don't like the idea of the Mokai, although it looks like fun.
Notice that in the video they don't have the sound turned on? Thats because if you heard these things you would realize that they destroy the peace and quiet of the areas they visit.
glatt, that's exactly what I was thinking. If you want to get to the wilderness, get there on your own power.
ah, true true.
also, there are restrictions on gas powered boats in most small lakes around me.
Every party has a pooper, that's why we invited you....
j/k Actually, I would be really really pissed if I was trying to enjoy some peace and quiet out in the middle of nowhere, and some a-hole came zooming by in one of those. Although, this doesn't look like you'd be tearing around in it like someone would on a jet ski...
Ear plugs huh? :headshake
When I kayak on a still lake in the morning or evening when there is no wind and the water's surface is like a mirror, I try to limit the drips coming off of my paddle so I make no noise at all. You can sneak up on wildlife that way.
These guys are talking about wearing earplugs.
yeah, those critters will be long gone before you can get a shot off, if your watercraft is so loud you need earplugs.
that new toy looks like fun , but I agree with Glatt , some things Need quiet
But if you're not making noise, how will everyone else know how much fun you're having?
Somehow, "Hold my beer and watch this shit"... silence.... doesn't work.
Yeah, I take back my desire to run it on the river. I watched the video without sound. It looks like fun, but there would be a lot of unhappy people, and would scare away the critters.
There's a hilljack lake near here, though.
Of course, I have to admit it looks like fun. As long as you are motorizing a kayak, why not add a lot more horsepower? To the point of needing a crash helmet.
Shaun Baker's Jet Kayakvery annoying promotional video, really, but the boat looks like fun. I think it's got a good chance of taking off, but I agree that it looks noisy.
