Close up of Mokai jet boat at full speed

We got 2 Mokais on August 1, 2008. They are the redesigned hull. This was taken on a 3 hour trip on the Saluda River going from the Pelzer dam to the Piedmont dam. I tried to get some close ups of the way the water flows around the boat. In the view of the nozzle you can see a little water escaping from the front of the nozzle when the nozzle is turned to steer the Mokai.
I got the Mokais to use as river boats and the are working very well. This year the Saluda is running at record low levels which leaves a lot of rocks exposed. Since the Mokai is plastic and has no prop. it can bounce off rocks, jump tree trunks and keep going.

I love that you say it's at "full speed" but have no idea what the speed is. It doesn't look very fast.

Specifications for the Mokai are available on the Mokai web site. I posted my videos because I couldn't find anything similar when I was doing my research before purchasing ours.

I haven't measured the speed but we've only encountered one rapids that we couldn't go up. It drops about 18-24"over about 2 or 3 feet. For what we use them for they are the best boat that I've found.

@ericarmstrong1 --- If something is at fullspeed then it doesn't need to be fast nor does the actual speed need to be stated. The vessel he/she is talking about is running at it's full potential in this clip thus being at it's "fullspeed". Try stop being a smart ass and let peopel enjoy Youtube without crap comments ?
