Say, is that Mr. Arneson's boat?

Speaking of boats, here's myself a couple years back (LOL) in the blown alcohol hydro my Dad used to race, parked in front of the house. 200mph, on the water... in an open cockpit with an open faced helmet.



Our "family boat" was a Sanger flatbottom, 472 BBC with a tunnel ram, that would trap in the 124-126mph range. Good ski boat.

Boats are fun. I've had an urge to build a boat powered by a small turbine (Allison T63 would be a reasonable way to get started) but there's no place around my area anymore where the waterways are deserted enough to really have fun with it-- I don't just want to idle through 5mph zones with it.
