    Now I've seen it all.

    On the German ebay site, I saw this wooden scratch built hydro. I was shocked when I saw the transom picture. A jet drive. WOW. I wonder why it's for sale?

        just a stupid one but how can a tunnel work with jet in the tunnel as the tunnel is supposed not to touch the water when running???
        You wonder why it is for sale... It is for sale because that doesn't work!!!

                LMAO,

                BUT : complete DIY, made from wood, motor : speed 700
                His boats are so heavy, the jets will be fully submerged, so they
                WILL work , hahahahahahaha.
                There never will be air under the tunnel,hahaha

                  Love his engineering spirit!

                      Danny, the problem is some young kid will buy it and be very disappointed. I do not buy anything from ebay. Buyer beware

                        Oh yeah,,Diego,,,its fairly apparent that you are hiding your jelousy as at least he has completed his jet builds... Sorry, you had to know that was coming!

                          Ya, the green eyed monster started my direction till I realized he started those builds in 1999.
                          Honestly though, I have thought about a quad rigger, just not "air powered" lol
