Design
The Water Scooter is an unarmed civilian jetski that uses a single four-stroke engine.
It has a very high top speed but is quite average handling-wise. Combined with a low fuel capacity, this somewhat limits the distance that can be travelled with the Scooter, though it is good enough for getting from one location to another across the shallow waters of Tanoa. As it is a relatively light watercraft, it can also be slingloaded by any rotary-wing helicopter.
Note that unlike other waterborne vessels such as the Assault Boat, the rear passengers do not have FFV capability and are unable to fire any weapons they may have while seated.
The Water Scooter has a passenger capacity of three (including the driver). Both passengers sit in tandem with each other behind the driver.
Camouflage
- White: Flat white paint scheme with red/dark grey stroke patterns.
- Black: Matte black paint scheme with custom livery in the form of a flame burst.
- Blue: Flat white/dark blue paint scheme with white/blue stroke patterns.
- Grey: Two-tone white paint scheme with a beige chassis. Has a dark grey seat and a custom line pattern on parts the hull.
- Lime: White paint scheme with a black chassis. Has a lime green seat and uses the same custom line pattern as the Grey paint scheme.
- Red: Two-tone white paint scheme with a beige chassis. Has a red seat and uses a slightly modified version of the Grey paint scheme's custom line pattern but with a red outline.
- Yellow: Two-tone white paint scheme with a beige chassis. Has a yellow seat and uses a modified version of the Red paint scheme's custom line pattern but with purple gradient shading.
Trivia
- As with the RHIB, the Water Scooter could be based on any real-world jetski model as almost all designs share the same layout and appearance in some way.
- The Water Scooter is the first jetski in the entire series that is not a rubber/rigid hulled-based vessel.
