Ah, my bad, yes the Mini Jet the smaller, and the bigger is the Jet Capsule. I see. Oh, I’d definately need space for 4 bikini clad girls, no point spending 69 grand to go fishing.
Fatal flaw #1 – operator sits alone with no contact with others while in operation. Makes him become just a taxi driver
Fatal flaw #2 – impossible to arrive at dock and tie up with roof attached, without dockside help.
Fatal flaw #3 – hardtop completely unnecessary unless in inclement weather.. plus it will get pretty hot in there very fast. How can one person remove and replace the top? By standing in the water?
And who wants to be on the water inside a dome anyway?
Fatal flaw #4- too small to enjoy. Not enough deckspace.
