But not "that" kind of attention...

When I saw the picture above, I figured it must have been designed by the crew at Cape Canaveral. As the craft accelerates rapidly through and well past 60-80 mph, it undergoes "staging," as the two spent outer engines are jettisoned. Kind of expensive for a boat ride, but whew!

It is a beautiful looking craft, but just remember, everything you have to do for your plain old boat, that guy has to do times four. I didn't know there were enough gas docks on the Lake to keep it fueled up! ( guess my jealousy is showing.)

I think it holds over 400 gallons!

Anyone know the dimensions of that beast? I wonder if it would fit through the Wiers channel abreast of another boat?

Probably 8.5 ft beam, same as everybody else that doesn't have a wideload permit.

To each his own, good for them. Hope they enjoy, I'll certainly enjoy watching it pass me!

Probably a rum-running boat for the Lees Mills to Alton prohibition route.

At wide open throttle those motors are sucking down about 120 gallons of gas per hour!!😮😮. It definitely needs that 400 gallon tank!!
