-17- Special: Jet Boats


Developed for shallow water, but can be used under normal conditions too.
It’s only that the drivers are not normal.

Shotover Canyon - a narrow gorge. If it would be firm ground rally drivers would have problems with that speed.

Those boats can do 100 km/h easily, are super handy & responsive and can be turned on a spot.


Always a fixed point in sight to head towards....
