:drink: :eek: :eek: :eek: pretty cool lookin

Re: What the heck is this??
 

I'd rather swim. At least people don't laugh at you when you're swimming.

Re: What the heck is this??
 

Looks like a novelty thing to me. Has anyone seen it go up on a plane?

Re: What the heck is this??
 

It looks like a Shamoo (spelling?) clone :rolleyes:
Sea World would be proud!

Re: What the heck is this??
 

The story behind it was it was going to be used in the new Star Wars movie but then they realized there was no water in the movie.

130 mph ?????? right.

Re: What the heck is this??
 

Very cool! Cuda........you're swimming anyway. :D :D

Re: What the heck is this??
 

Maybe - it looks like it might be some type of surface effect craft. If so, I could see it hitting those types of speeds, as those things are closer to low-flying airplanes than planing boats.

Re: What the heck is this??
 

their is no way that "thing" can do 130

Re: What the heck is this??
 

if it could do 130 it would have to be a flat lake with no wind.lol

Sweet, A wheelchair accessible jet ski.

Re: What the heck is this??
 

I've seen it in Popular Science. It flies inside ground effect which would allow it to basically fly without the drag of the water. Really interesting design....and I suppose with the right power might be able to do 130.

Re: What the heck is this??
 

Sure that's HAVASU and NOT.........ROSWELL :et: :et: :et: :eek:

They scrapped the LIVORSI RACE CONTROLS for these new ones .... Each finger point controls ACEELERATION, TRIM TABS, FORWARD, REVERSE, LEFT & RIGHT TURNS

Re: What the heck is this??
 

Push it out the back of a C-130 and it will get pretty close!! :D

Re: What the heck is this??
 

Its not a Formula




Its not a scarab





Its not a cig.




Its not a Baja








Its a 195 nerf. :D

Re: What the heck is this??
 

Looks a bit dated compared to American Challenge :D

Re: What the heck is this??
 

Thats Outerlimits New Power boat!!! There coming for ya Reggie!!! :D

Re: What the heck is this??
 

If you stuck a beek and a swim step on it, it would be a 60' Fountain Poker run edition. :D

Re: What the heck is this??
 

Thats just not right!! Maybe Fountains new 24 footer but its alittle to short fo 60!! :D

Re: What the heck is this??
 

Reggie measures the new 60' er with the new Fountain tape measure that wraps around the entire hull. They call it the "Fountain big boat tape measure", guaranteed to double the size of any boat on the market and increase speed. He's always bringing new inovations to the performance marine industry!!!! :drink:

Re: What the heck is this??
 

Well hell that means my 27 "ah wait" 75 footer is worth a hole hell of alot of money, maybe I can afford that smaller 46 foot Cig after all.......... :drink: :drink:

Re: What the heck is this??
 

75', now your getting out of hand, that thing barely measures 64.5 on the new measuring system. You'd still be a little short of the Rough Rider, Maybe a little closer to a Gadiator. Worst part about it is you never be able to drive it, there's no pointer in the front so you know wich way you're going. You'd be driving in circles trying to figure out where the bow (beek) is....... :drink:

Re: What the heck is this??
 

Give me accouple drinks :drink: :drink: :drink:
I figure out which way that boat goes fastest!! :D

Re: What the heck is this??
 

I knew you could pull it off if you had too.

Re: What the heck is this??
 

I saw something very similar fly right over me the other day as I was driving north on 95, just a few miles past Mercury Nevada, at around 1:30 AM! :eek:

Re: What the heck is this??
 

There ain't nothing an 18 pack can't solve :drink:

Re: What the heck is this??

Re: What the heck is this??
 

OK....very cool website and info.....I called them as well because this thing is very interesting.......well made ....but pricey. The one in HAVASU is all aircraft aluminum thats why....next year they will have composite molded ones.....carbon fiber/ kevlar and some other esthers. the price will be half of the aliminum one. With a pair 496 HO's in the 28 HUGH SPEED CAT your looking at 140k for the composite boat. SHe will run at 100 or so with the 496's according to the builder......cuurently built in RUSSIA next year produced in CA. Intersting alternative to whats out there now.
