At this point we are over the take off speed of any plane anyways so instead of a fast boat setting a speed record that should be done in an airplane why not set a slow jet down on the water with a fiberglass hull might be a more prudent thing to do :)

(No offence Kilo Kat just tounge and cheek)

By the way Dave and Johhny still rule the water if you ask me

Already done!

Not exactly. I believe they landed in the low 170mph mark (could be wrong). I cant remember where, but I read that they had to land between 150mph and 175mph (so the plane would not nose dive or land too hard) at exactly an 11 degree angle.

We have been out of touch, but have not quit the project. We still remain focused on the goal of the speed record and are currently working in that direction. Scott had to have surgery on his arm for a detached bicep and this slowed down the project a litttle bit. We are awaiting new thrust tubes that will allow us to attach a tiebar between the drives so that we may continue our testing. Will be back in the water next month and will keep you updated. Thanks for your support in this project, as always our focus is to make Al's wish of breaking the record come true and we will.

Thanks for updating. One question (I'll be blunt and not dance around the obvious) ... any validity to the rumor of the boat going under? I noticed that wasn't addressed one way or another with your update? If so, what happened?

I believe you can break the propeller speed record(220mph Miss Budweiser).
