Abstract

A motorcycle-like configured watercraft (20) that employs a hull member (22) to receive an engine (72) and water jet nozzle means (82) to propel the craft and the craft includes a seat area (48) for a rider and steering means (28) to control the direction of the craft. In addition, the craft includes a separate front ski member (24) that has a water ballast chamber (160) that may be connected to the steering means, and a pair of side skirts (26) secured to the hull that contains water ballast chambers (106). The water ballast chambers designed to be capable of becoming quickly flooded when the craft is at rest to partially submerge the craft for ease of entry of the rider and means to cause rapid evacuation of the water in the chambers as the craft increases speed to raise the craft without restriction to its running and planing position.
