Correct me if I'm wrong, but I know somewhere I've seen Jet Ski's or similar being used as rescue boats on large freshwater lakes and coastal inshore areas...any ideas, chaps? I'd like to build my Robbe Sea Jet into some sort of a rescue vessel with the blue and red flashing beacons on a small gantry, that sort of thing.

Hi rich, I know they used them in the Baywatch series,
 not as I was looking at them.

Is that the American thing on tv with all the crump scantily dressed young ladies bouncing about on the beach?

RNLI use them at at Weymouth and other south coast resorts including Cornwall and Devon, but I don't think they have any flashing blue lights on them, sorry Rich.

the board sticking up at the back of the jet ski is for swimmers to hang on too, and is towed at the back of the ski.

The RNLI lifesaving teams and beach patrols
use them around our coasts.
There was a TV series showing the teams at
Perranporth I believe.
Gordon (Regiment) would probably know about it.

You could make a Police version of a motorbike
cop Wet bike with flashing blues and twos
robbed from a £ shop toy police car

Thanks guys, I did manage to find a photo of a Police version which looks kind of interesting...no flashing lights, though. 


Or I could just do my own thing with it...at least if it looks like something that could be around somewhere in the world, I can claim it's a scale model, and I'd be able to run it on my local lake again. (I got banned from running my last one on the club lake, they said it was too fast...)

'Bouncing'

Better than flopping 

Ned

[U-33]

Nothing worse than flopping when you're supposed to be bouncing....
