Can a outboard be inboard?

[Ducky]

Who cares if it's an outboard or not, just think about all the trim he's going to pull cruising that whip!

Unfortunately...he can only fit one piece of kitty kat in that sweet ass jetboat.

My suggestion would be to follow homie in a pontoon boat so you can load that thing up with the rest of the chicks wanting to party!

How do you flip it?

@Yami-Rider This is about the best that I could find. The more photos I find, the more I shudder when I think my buddy wants one of these so badly. The 3cyl model only has 70hp.

why do i detect deep jealousy in that statement?
it's not called a funjet for no reason now is it?

I remember these. It is an "inboard" jet boat, that uses a power head from an "outboard" engine coupled to a jet unit. That being said, parts wise, they will interchange with what ever outboard power head it has, but it is still technically a class A inboard boat.

I believe some has Suzuki engines. Some may have had Yamaha. They are literally the exact engines as their outboard cousins.

Wet bikes were the same. They used Suzuki engines, and you can get / use Suzuki outboard engine parts for them. (carb rack, electrics, crank, pistons, etc).

Hope this helps the original question.

They're not that great(outboard jets). Bass Fishermen were talking about how they could fish rapids with them in the late 90s. They failed to ever catch on. People seem to think Jet Drives are great for shallow water, but in fact they are only good for certain types of shallow water(New Zealand rocky rivers). Try taking a Jet Boat through the shallow mud or a weedy marsh...FAIL! I've only seen a few jet units over the years. They have to be horribly ineffecient compared to a propped lower unit, and probably don't have reverse.

I have been on the water my entire life.... I've never seen anything like that. I somewhat retract my statement.

That thing is a box magnet for sure!

Box turtles, maybe.
They had jet drive outboards in Vietnam, and probably in use well before that

hopefully by selling it for more than what you paid for it

Fantastic response thank you sir.

So buddy is buying a Yamaha Funjet. He says it has a "outboard" motor.

Sample photo:

I disagree because there is no motor on the outside of ^^^ that.

He claims that because the motor is vertically oriented, like an outboard, that its called an outboard.

I need clarification. I need to be right. Help.

I spent just long enough making that image for my wife to determine I'm an idiot.

I love it. A+ for putting in the effort. This should be a sticky

You grass doesn't look so healthy. May I suggest dethatching and overseeding? Maybe some fertilizer?

Can't seed St. Augustine. I need a sprinkler, then weed-n-feed gets the job done.
