When it comes to thrilling water adventures, jet boats are an undeniable classic. As an adventure business we have had the opportunity to experience both. So, buckle up as we dive into the world of what sets our Jet Sprint boats apart!
Imagine if a jet boat had a wild, speed-obsessed cousin. Jet Sprint Boats are the Formula One of the water world, purpose-built for high-speed thrills and hairpin-turn agility. They’re smaller, less seating and much lighter.
When it comes to delivering heart-pounding thrills on the water, the Oxbow Jet Sprint Boat stands in a league of its own. Designed for maximum performance and agility, this machine is packed with innovations that are one step ahead and set it apart from conventional jet boats. Here’s what makes it so special:
1. A Smarter Hull Design
The hull of the Jet Sprint Boat is one of the main differences. Featuring a deeper 'V' shape, it slices through water with precision, providing exceptional control even at high speeds. The addition of multiple plaining strakes ensures stability and grip, while the two fins and a forward keel enhance cornering and manoeuvrability.
2. Race-Prepped Jet Unit
Every Jet Sprint Boat at Oxbow Adventure Co. is equipped with a Southern Jet, jet unit fine-tuned by a world champion. This race-prepped system is modified to maximize thrust and responsiveness, allowing the boat to accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in just 2.5 seconds.
3. Lightweight Build for Maximum Speed
In the world of high-speed, weight matters. The Jet Sprint Boat is significantly lighter than a standard jet boat. The front seats, crafted entirely from carbon fibre, are as sleek as they are functional, contributing to the boat's lightning-fast performance.
4. High-Performance Aluminum Engine
At the heart of the Jet Sprint Boat lies a stroked LS3 Chevy aluminum engine designed for power and efficiency. Lighter than traditional engines, the aluminum build enhances the boat's speed and agility while maintaining durability.
Every aspect of the Jet Sprint Boat is purpose-built to deliver a one-of-a-kind experience.
Whether you’re a thrill-seeker or just looking to try something extraordinary, this ride is guaranteed to leave you breathless.
The Jet Sprint World Championship is coming up on the 25th & 26th of January at the old Oxbow in Wanaka. It is an EPIC day out and a must if you love watching some speed action. Buy your ticket here!
