Nice one! Should check it out Hooks, next trip to Tasy use it to get your mutton birds in flight, ya Abs, Crays and probably a Tuna or two on the move without scuba, yeah!

Wow, don't let Nick see this,

What do you think Alan, surely we can run one of a jet boat I'm in if anyone wants to try

How cool is that. I cant wait to see what they do with these on the next James bond movie.
There was something similar to this back in the 20,s. Ive got a picture somewhere of it.
It was a little outboard boat with a pivoted arm coming off the bow. Attached to this arm was a small glider. The driver/pilot sat in this and operated this boat remotely from the cockpit. The glider flew as a normal plane with the forward motion of the boat providing the speed to give it lift. It worked well. Needless to say the idea never took off.

Bloody unreal!!
