I still think only one prop but never pay much attention to this kind of boat.

Well there you go, you do learn something new everyday. I am sure it would be fun to drive one of those, but I would rather waste my money racing in Super V or Factory 2 where at least your out there for a while and you don't loose because you slept at the light for .001 of a second. I like the stop light grand prix when it comes to drag racing.

I takes a special breed to run them, 240 mph in 4.5 seconds.
and when it goes bad it goes bad real quick. they are fun to attend.
