Greetings Mr Wilson!

Thats a cool machine. My wife and I were watching something on tv several months back and they had a 10 or 15 minute shpeel on that. I think it was on Fuel TV. Pretty sweet ride.

I'll bet it could clear the beach in Malibu in a heartbeat or you may be shot at. Thanks Dom!

Where does the carb get the air from when submerged, The thing on the upright fin? Seems a bit pricey for a tricked out jet ski.

Would be neat to make a scaled down version for FE.

The shock that thing is receiving with all it's silly jumping out of the water will probably destroy it in short order.

Never saw anything in the video indicating it would run consistently on top of the water or completely submerged.

This has to be one of the most useless vehicles ever! It is pretty though!

It is fun! Not useless!One could suggest RC FEs are useless. They too are fun! I think it is just another nefty bit of engineering and imagination. Depending on how durable they are, I can see them as rentals at high resorts.
Hey, it could have military applications??

I agree, properly painted, like "Jaws" it could scare the wits out of almost anyone swiming or surfing in the Ocean!!
Very cool. Like to drive one.
