Today, PWCs are marketed as a family-friendly
craft ideal for watersports and
cruising. But fishing? Well, not so much

But that didn’t stop an inventive
BoatUS member from outfitting
a used personal watercraft into a
machine that had its advantages
over a traditional fishing boat. "Jet
Ski Brian," as he is known to locals and followers
of his blog, has owned several fishing boats.
Edited title after Requiem set the record straight.

Jetski Brian has been doing this for 10+years. I think he was the one who pioneered this idea.

First I've heard of him. I'm a noob to saltwater fishing. Badass way to catch fish for sure.

Besides draft, what are the advantages?

Besides draft, what are the advantages?

Low weight = smaller and more efficient tow vehicle.

Smaller foot print = easier to store at the residence.

Smaller craft = less fuel burned while fishing.

Pretty rugged and stable design.
