| 4th March : Viper Jetboats 2004 |
| New for 2004 !! |
| Pierce Brosnan in the Bond film ‘The World is Not Enough’ drew enormous attention to what was a very high tech boat, boys everywhere wanted one, now the Viper jet boat company has launched a radical design ‘pocket rocket’ that will leave the ‘bond boat’ far in its wake!! Equipped with satellite navigation, engine performance instrumentation and hydraulic trim system to get the ultimate performance from the hull, Viper has proved to be the super babe magnet. The Viper can out accelerate, out maneuver, and out perform all its competitors, not only does it have immense performance, its styling draws the attention normally reserved for Ferrari owners. |
| The Viper offers impressive maneuverability and, to satisfy the showman among owners, the ability to perform a 360-degree spin or “doughnut” within its own length. As well as leading the way in design and technology, it’s not at the expense of comfort. |

There are more details on their website with a short video clip. |
