Just got preliminary information on these cats which are soon to be introduced in Europe.

They are made in Durban, South Africa

Like a "personal Zapcat"!

I wonder how they'll handle - where are the jetski experts - Jono G, Daniel TD5?????

Jools, is the expert on these. In fact I think he's selling his!

Daniel TD5 · 02 June 2004, 21:06

they look like great fun and are a step forward from the rhino rib the only problem is the out board engine which is a standard one. all jet ski are jet drive
and are now toping 215 bhp which is very fast the last one i had was 145 bhp
and my face use to splat bugs like a number plate at top speed. when
playing with a jet ski you can roll them over if you did that to the above i don,t thing the engine would be to happy if any one wants one i think its still for sale in the ribs for sale section at £3500 thats a cheap fun toy over a jet ski price its got my appoval

i like the size of the fuel tank as my mates jet ski only carry fuel for 45mins
at full speed which is crap one of these could go on for most of the day

ps - The picture of TomKat at speed was taken on the River Thames at the very first RibNet Thames cruise.

OK, so it was a but wet, and cold - but it was a great day out.

(and I had plenty of fuel!)

Pics of that trip are here
