yea, i was thinking there must be some technical way to make it happen heck the unlimited guys with them were bookin pretty good. Even if the top speed number wasn't a record the "gee whiz" factor certainly would be. Nothing on earth like the sound of an Allison 1710 (or some variant)

Wish i could find the pics of the 27 Magnum with the single front mounted one in it, sick . . . . realy sick lol

*edit* found a couple but just the transom and close up of the 1710, had a splitter and a pair of Arnesons

50 Mystic or OL, Sherman tank themed, sponsons painted like tank tracks, rivits panels etc. The canopy set up to look like the turret. Working water cannons, And powered buy Ford GAA Aluminum Dohc 18l V8's engines. with modern internals, more compression etc. I'm sure you could get them to spin 6k rpm, (1000 ft lbs from idle, yes please) Arneson drives.

50' Cig Marauder with all sorts of 007 style gadgets that like pop out of the bow and floor and stuff. But not James Bond themed, Jurassic Park themed! Oh, and triple 1350's.

I think the idea of the tread was to get people to put out ideas. My favorite of the current theme boats would be the ZR1 Boat. My least favorite would be the one that is actually a double entendre. That thing looks terrible imo.

Not my theme but.......A new boat company to rival Cig called Do-B Racing with hybrid biodiesel running on recycled veggie oil. Tye Died paint with peace signs and smiley faces. Towed by a VW bus camper I mean toter home also running on french fry grease. The interior would be corduroy seats, with a flower vase at the helm, and lava lamps for cabin lights. You could name her Mary Jane!!!
