    I'll just bet that little tug wasn't cheap . . . but it did look like fun.

    May God bless,

    It's a little "inboard" uses jet propulsion, . . . runs water thru a turbine and out the back in a jet nozzle, . . . same as we had in Vietnam with the PBR boats.

    PBR's were 33 ft long IIRC, . . . and their draft when popping along at 30 knots was only like 14 inches or so.

    This one takes advantage of that same principle.

    May God bless,

    That engine, whatever it is sure sounds like it puts out a lot of horsepower for as small as it would have to be.
