ABSTRACT:
Improved jet propelled aquatic vessel (1) with a hull (60) profile which increase water entrainment to the jet pump intake orifice (14) and tends to stabilize the vessel. The vessel has a hull (60) with a lowered center section (13) wherein a concave water entrainment groove (15) is located. The vessel includes an operator control panel (43) and an operator support structure (10). The engine (20) is forwardly mounted in a closed engine compartment (21) while the air intake (29) for the engine (20) utilizes a combination of high and low points to avoid flooding of the engine compartment (21) should the vessel (1) capsize. To turn the vessel (1) a jet nozzle (12) is deflected by mechanical linkage (45). The vessel's steering wheel (11) is coordinated with jet nozzle (12) and mechanical linkage (45) to limit maximum deflection.
