You really do want to be KING of BIG RIVER don'cha?:D

I don't think any water would be left in Big River if I fired it up. Suck that place dry:D :D
And to answer your question....
No doubt I would be king:D :D

I just finished a show called "Man Made" and it was about a tunnel boat ferrie, it was equiped with four of these type of jets and four 20 cyl power plants making 40,000 HP the tunnel ended up running just over 40knots!
It was a pretty sick show!
I think it was the discovery channel tonight 8-9pm

I love the boat. It rides awesome, I couldnt be happier with a boat I knew nothing about to begin with. I thought it would be trickier to get used to but I couldn't be more comfortable. Now the fine tuning begins. Keep your phone on, I'm goin to be callin ya and gettin your opinions on some set up ideas next week. I plan on making a solo run up there next weekend and could use your input.
and yes a little more hp for this jet wouldn't hurt:D

that has gotta be the safest and most manuverable tunnel on earth!

Not to mention dependable. They held it at 40 knots for 4 hours, then plan to do that daily.
40,000 hp wide open all day and dependable:idea:
I need to rethink my current setup :D

If you put that jet on your boat it would be like all the Honda car running around with those big ass coffee can exhaust tips.....:D :D :D

If you are going fresh water only you could remove the anodes and save about 800 lbs:D :D

How about being those passengers in that other boat in the storm?....Fuq that, ide have to board with two shots of turkey, 6 BL's, a splif, and a shit pail to sit on for the duration of the trip!

I was sick just watching that part. There were people falling into each other in the isle.:D I would have to be trashed before I got on that boat.
