How cool would it be to learn that the other end of those exhaust ports were hooked to a couple of updated and refreshed RR Merlin's? Alas, they're "just" twin 1000hp Catepillar 18L I-6's. But they propel that 52' boat to 25 knots!

Our friends the Brits have been doing this since the 1860's!

Retrieval, great description, looks like fun. dont drop that line!

That would not be good - esp. in heavy seas!
