Are there two boats?

I think the boat in the second picture on page 41 is a different boat than the one in pictures 1 and 3. It doesn't have the Jet Ski handlebars, but instead a regular steering wheel. The second boat also has a platform or cover of some sort sticking out horizontally over the jet nozzle, not seen in the top picture. The hull shape looks different, too -- the boat in the top pic has a distinct chine, while the bottom one has a gentle curve from sides to bottom.

I think there's another story here, too, BTW: the top boat seems to be on a bow-first launching trailer. I would love to see how that works.
