No, I can't say I've heard of them, but did check out their website,
and watched their video. Then I wen't to Youtube and watched what they
had there.

Pretty noisy. and seem really cramped. But it is a unique concept. But
one must remember that when they say it will draft 6" of water, please
understand that's dry. Start adding fuel, yourself, and what ever gear
you may take and that draft will drop quite a bit.

There is a local guy that has done stuff like this. (This isn't his
video) but has taken light, small jon boats and has adapted wrecked
jet ski engines to them.

and actually they work quite well. I wish I had a pic of his.
