" Jet boat" : Some call it a "toilet".... 'cause it just 'flushes' water.... ( Total loss of HP to the water)

This is my alternative......
( oddly enough), we installed a pair of outboard powered jets to maneuver the beast into the harbor - difficult to idle a turbine..

( I know - I know.... my 'pictures' )

( after looking at the picture..... I think the 5-blade Rolla prop cost $15,000 )

It's missing the triple Buick 'holes' on the front fender.

They're probably on the hood, next to the scoop-shaped stick-on "vents".

Christ, don't give him any more ideas....

That ain't a new idea, Biff. It's just an idea that's last on the list, but is on the list nonetheless. It's been on my list from the beginning

Hmm. That Tundra needs more chrome. Maybe a few more yellow accessories painted too.. especially being the XSP-X variant.

How was the tq?

How was the tq?

Torque was good enough ( those F-1 Tunnel Boats were not rigged yet ).... So they were less than 200 lbs each. ( Seebold Boats ) My boss owned the truck..... So I just put my foot in it !!!! No problem !!

Cool pic! That 350 musta had to bust some tail to get that big girl moving.

Way back some years, I was 'coached' to imagine the carburetor and transmission's shifting.....

You don't push past the 2 components abilities. So, you cruise up & down hills.

Up hill, you give just enough gas into the carb, ...... Too much gas, and if you are not going faster...then, back off the peddle.

Down hill...... Firm on the brakes..... let off....... Then firm again..... Keeps the rotors cool.

I think it's a plow frame mount maybe.
