Just for those who are curious there is just alot of information being posted on our site about the recent World Jet Boat Marathon Race with pictures and video etc
Check it out if you want to see some info on what occured and the exciting finish etc.
I assisted in preparing the upcoming article for ***boat and in doing a lilttle research learned a bunch of things that occured during the race I was completely unaware of, even tho I was navigating for someone!
Ever lost a handhole cover to your jetpump? Know what to do to fix it when you're in the middle of nowhere? haha neither did I till i heard THAT story lol :)
How much water does it take to sink a 17 foot Sportjet? :eek:
Is it really possible to do 132 mph with an aluminum boat and a rockgrate????:jawdrop:
Just a few of the things that excompassed the 2007 World Championships.
