They have sprint boats, with alcohol burning small blocks like those
in sprint cars. They run in canals with tight corners and they
regularly end up rolling over and over on dry land. They have complete
roll cages.

Sound like fun?
From the clip it didn't look like the boats got much damage from the rolls
but hard to tell from a grainy distance.
Look like very tough little boats!

DANG! That's some pretty interesting stuff!

I can see why a roll bar would be needed now.

Sprint Boat Racing.

Same boats on rivers.

That's nuts. I certainly don't run my jet boat like that, but then again,
mine will only go 1/2 that speed!

My boat is similar. Only real difference, is theirs is 5' shorter and 400
more horsepower. Yours is a plastic boat I think.


Plastic it is.
