Saw these in the Dominican Republic recently. Fun little things. Handled like a hovercraft, easy to slide sideways. Not overly fast in a straight line, instant hole shot though. Fun to try once but I sure would not buy one.

Re: Dominican Boat Pics.

Did you take one out? Looks like they are renting them out to the tourists there.

Where is the steering mechanism?

Looks like a pretty fun toy!!!

Re: Dominican Boat Pics.

Was good fun for a half hour or so. Steering is by lever between the seats on the one we tried. They were taking 2 hour trips out or a half hour a day for the resort guests included in the package if you were a "gold" guest which we were not so $20:00 cash to the guy running the show with them got us the same privelidge for the 8 days we were there.

Re: Dominican Boat Pics.

I've seen a couple of them here in Florida. Sure don't look too comfortable.
