Anyone ever see one on the water?
They still have a website (http://www.aquajet.com).....

I always thuoght these were pretty cool for a jetski. I figured they'd catch on with the superbike crowd, but I've never seen one on the water. I forgot about them actually.

Yes, I can't remember where we were but we saw several of them in a group riding once.

I think they remind people too much of these which were POS's

Kind of similar looking to the old Wet Bikes. They had a ski on the front that would do wicked damage to anyone in the water who had the misfortune of being struck by one. :eek!:
They never could perform as well as the PWCs and I suspect it would be tough for one of those Aqua Jets to come close either.

The Aquajet was supposed to be much better than the old wet bike in many ways. Power, CG, and handling. The engine is mounted all the way at the bottom of the hull, unlike the old wetbike. The front ski wasn't designed in such a way this it would lay-open your skull either! ;) Plus, IMO they look cool.

Looks like it has a lawn mower or vacuum cleaner mounted up front. Would never hold a candle to a current Yamaha or SeaDoo (or Kawasaki) PWC performance-wise. The old Yamaha Wave Blaster was a great ride (if you could get up on it). Those things could've used more power but they sure did handle well.

Yeah now that I think about it I think it was at the jet ski finals a while ago... they looked just like the ones in the first picture.

I got something in the mail from SeaDoo and they are making a new PWC that can convert between a standup/sitdown/bike type. It looked interesting, but knowing SeaDoo they will want twice as much as what it is worth.

The WaveBlaster was awesome. I raced them for three years.
The new SeaDoo RXP will do 68 stock! 1500cc supercharged four-stroke. That's faster than my Nordic!
