Deep Impact..w/quads

I would love to run to the canyon in an hour with this bad boy, but the fuel must be insane.

Nice, so when you blow one engine with the "dreaded clunk" you got 3 spares!

Given the diversity of the human species, there is no “normal” human genome sequence. We are all mutants.

But maybe these are more practical (or NOT)?







Those steering wheels on the right, gotta go.

All comes down to GPH vs Speed.

if you're burning 20gph at 20kts in a Downeast hull or 85gph at 85kts.... Those high fliers in the dump would come at you pretty damn fast though!!!

My problem is my hat flies off at 26 knots, I use this as my internal speedometer... My face would peel off at 85 I think. I saw some mpg reading for a boat similar to this, when it is cruising along at 40 or 50 mph it isn't that bad, but when he puts the hammer down it is like 1/8- 1/4 mile /gallon at those speeds.

Things done at the last possible minute are done with the greatest possible information. Procrastination is, therefore, the most efficient means of doing things.
