It's a very narrow boat for that speed and three guys who could shift the weight quickly.Â* The speed is impressive but very dangerous. Seeing that contraption running, it occurs to me danger is not their first concern. I guess there are rednecks everywhere. I am impressed with the ingenuity a bit. I assume this thing is raw water cooled so it might not last long but it is a cool ride while it lasts. It would be interesting to see how they are getting the water pump primed to get going. There is nowhere enough detail in that video. |

Anyone who built something eventually wants to see if it is faster than the guy's down the road. Hell they race lawn tractors. |
