It’s a boat. It’s a plane. No, it’s… well, we’re not really sure what it is.
It’s kind of like Goldilocks couldn’t make up her mind between a jet boat and a jet ski, and hired Geppetto to work his magic and, well, you get the idea…
But, jokes aside, what “it” is, is the MiniJet Cub – all of 11 ft from tip to transom, a 90hp Rotax ACE 900 4-stroke engine, a 140 mm pump with fixed trim nozzle, bench seating for 2, Hydro-Terf EVA foam decking, an integrated LCD screen and more.
The Cub, is only one of several models from Minijet – which, in addition to a series of turnkey boats, also offers DIY kits that revolve around “selecting and purchasing a ‘donor’ PWC with the engine and driveline you want to morph with a Miniet Hull Kit.
For the turnkey models, in addition to the Cut, MiniJet offers the Frontier, with standard features like a; 12 degree deadrise angle, reinforced reverse chines, lifting strakes, integrated rear transom flotation, pump protection bars, and an improved delta pad bottom that make the Minijet Frontier perfect in aerated whitewater and shallow rivers alike; the Rover, with a wider nose and front deck area providing more storage space for gear, or ample space for a front mounted fishing seat and casting station, as well as larger rear engine cover accommodates extra seating and storage space; and the Defender, the largest model at 16 feet.
And, just to ratchet up some instagram-worthy cuteness, there is the MiniJet A2-6 – a micro jet boat kit with an integrated intake assembly suited for a wide variety of engines, two protective intake grate options, rear transom flotation to increase displacement and buoyancy, reverse chines and lifting strakes for sharp handling – all at 6 feet from tip to transom.
