Cool, but at the end of the day it is still just a jet boat........... http://www.arneson-industries.com/Kool%20Boats.htm

Very Cool!! :cool:

seems to me like some one did alot of work for a small market. it will still never be as efficient as a prop. But Im sure it has its place.

Cool and there is another one - Trident. Anyway I would want a gaurd around them U-joints - drive line incase something breaks. Very nice river ride. You could really hurt someone with that rooster tail.
Wonder what the numbers are on preformance vs a single pump or IO. Should be bullet proof which is a plus.

Looks like the two jets really get the boat out of the water..... Wonder what kind of speeds it does???

Boat runs Mid 70's now. That is with no pump tuning. We expect to make it in the 80'w when we are done.
The key to the boat is that it gets to 60+ in SIX seconds. It hits really hard. It takes 1 second to get on plane. That is with four people on board and a full tank. Puts you in your seat!
Makes running the river, in the shallows by Yuma, in a big boat a lot of fun.

Motor is by Jim Guthrie and is around 1,000 hp. The gear box and rigging on the boat were by Harold Bruce at R&D Marine.
