I'll take those both for spins. I'd like to see someone pull up on one of those and challenge a 1/2 million dollar powerboat to 1/4 mile drag and laugh there ass off when the poor bustard pulls up and you tell him you have about $15,000 grand into the thing!!!

Here is another vid, this one still has the jet pump but he put a 260 racing merc powerhead in it

That's pretty wild. Never seen it before. Jet's are really inefficient, so the prop probably adds 10-15mph right out of the box. Wonder what the prop slip #'s are?

Can't see as how its going to be steerable. The speed at which the props will theoretically push it will be faster than the pump can move water with enough thrust, thusly, no steering. Needs rudders like the single one.
