Hahaha, cool idea.

I remember when a boat with painted valve covers was the sweetest thing I'd ever seen. When the liquid filled Gaffrig speedos came out I was like , after reading Stuart Warners, Nordskogs, and VDO's before that.

Now I could mistake the batteries for a pack of cold ones.

yes , there not using a gear reduction box, so its a 1 to 1 gear ratio, they said the turbines are too close to 100%. There having to go up in prop to get the rpm down to safe 42000.
