The jet drive allows the boat to turn almost on its own length so extremely manoeuvrable. This boat is very quick and is eager to get onto the plane from about 6 knots.
It is equipped with a stainless ski pole for water skiing and wakeboarding. This is a vintage boat of fibreglass and wood construction ( Believed to be an ParkerCraft (NZ) prototype) and has been used on both rivers and off the coast in the Solent. It has recently been fully refurbished to a very high standard including its trailer which it is stored upon so can easily be kept in a domestic garage. The wood has an oiled satin finish which is easily applied and avoids having to continually remove and reapply multiple layers of boat varnish. A high gloss varnish finish could easily be attained if the new owner so desired.
