I don't think its PISTONS or TURBINES that will determine anything. Its the 4 things hangin between the guys legs that gotta be huge to do that.

What an absolutely gorgeous boat! Pure artwork.
And BRAVO to them for pushing the envelope.

Did you see at the end when either the drive or throttle man was out hugging everyone...... Had a knee brace on..

I guess I'm doing it wrong!

That was the owner. He dos'nt drive or throttle.

He just suites up?

I guess I'm really doing it wrong then.

You must be doing it wrong. Here's the deal. You buy the boat. Suit up and watch me drive it around from the helicopter. Everybody wins.

I'd need the knee brace just to stop my diaper from leaking

Where do I pick you up.... Newport Harbor?

Phuckin A that is the stuff that makes me work harder.

Turbine Cats seem like the wave of the future...
