High speed test of jet boats!

Working or having fun?                      




As I promised these is the follow up of the high speed test of the jet Sprinter Supercharger F 16.

The day was not the best one for filming from the air but we are used to work with what is available weather wise in Florida.
The photographer; Very courageous (my point of view) was taking pictures from the helicopter with no door to shield him.
The performance of the jet 16 was as we expected very good. The girls are learning how the boats perform at high speed and they are really enjoying the ride.
They say that this is consider working. I am not convinced about that! They are having a lot of fun!
We have also used the Sprinter F 14 for a ride and it is always amazing the way this boat handles the waves and the speed.
The wind was kind of strong so even if the test was in a lake the water was choppy.
The 14 jet is powered with a Yamaha jet 110 HP
The 16 is powered by a Yamaha 220 HP supercharger.
The deep V hull of the both tenders are really well designed giving optimum maneuverability to the boat. The water spry is kept to a minimum so guests on board do not get over spry; very convenient if you are taking them to dinner or at shore.
