Needs a 50 cal 2 be Truly American :cool:

[nosebleed]

Machine "gins", those Texas HP's sure know how to have a good time.
I'm sure they could have squeezed a fourth outboard on there if they'd really wanted to.
1200's better than 900 in anyones language.

Only in USA can you title a boat as Texas Highway Patrol...

I'd love to see someone on a ski biscuit being towed by one of those boats at full throttle.

I'd of thought a big jet propulsion unit was the go?

I'd of thought a big jet propulsion unit was the go?

Maybe the space advantage was needed?

[The Lone Rider]

I take it you've never seen the show "Sons Of Guns" with Red Jacket firearms?

Their local baton rouge PD boats have been armed with smoke canister launchers, and a rear single mount that has a fully automatic 40mm grenade launcher and fully automatic 240 on independent pivots with recoil springs mounted to the stands.

Check out the ski racers, they clock up over 100mph on skis.

Maybe not so good if the water is chopped up a bit?

[Madness]

A jet unit will never provide as much top end speed as propellor(s).
