Very cool! Might get some steering torque without counter rotating props!

I also notice the boat registration AND a license plate. Double dipping by the government?

Used to see a few of those in Newport Beach in the 60's. Hadn't seen one in years then I was at Navaho Res on the Colorado New Mexico border 3-4 years ago and A guy had one there and took it for a splash a couple of the days we were there.

I remember when you could pick up one of those for $500.
