Did anyone see the special on the travel channel last night? If you did what did you think about the 100,000Hp Jet Boats eek! It seems that the future of high speed offshore trans. and even some military is a Jet Boat.
Yeah, an interesting program. I liked the 36' Daytona at Havasu. The big cruise/ferry ships with the monster jet pumps were impressive. Four of those monsters. I wonder if they use those due to draft challenges? I can't image a couple of props wouldn'r be more efficient.
I was thinking the same thingBut the pumps were cool. We have rebuilt a few of them here at my shop.
I saw that as well. Pretty cool show.
I believe the Army/Navy have a joint project and two ships that are transport and jet driven. I have the article at work.
