Abstract
Personal watercraft systems are described. The personal watercraft systems include a housing for supporting a water jet engine system. The housing has a pickle fork shaped hull for operation enjoyment. A pair of sponsons is removably attachable to the housing to facilitate breakdown of the watercraft system assembly into more easily transportable components. A cowling is disposed in the housing about the water jet engine system for forming a water jacket about the engine. A support is attached to the housing to support a torso area of an operator. A seal is disposed between the support and the housing for sealing the interface therebetween and absorbing impacts. A steering mechanism is connected to the personal watercraft system for allowing an operator to control the personal watercraft systems direction of travel. The steering mechanism is located below the support for preventing inadvertent operator contact therewith. The systems provide advantages in greater operator comfort and enjoyment from operation of personal watercraft.
