What is truly amazing is that these rigs are actually getting sucked through the water and not thrust through like prop boat. Essentially if the water is calm then 'traction' is unlimited. Pretty rad.
Seems like you'd be a lot better of running the jet electrically. Everything is faster, higher torque and more reliable with electric power and the tuning would be unlimited. Yes you lose the hypnotic bones inducing sound but I'm sure you can find another outlet. Not to mention the massive weight reduction if you are truly running the rigs in a drag race. All that said, the engines sound amazing, and I'm sure the feeling is unparalleled.
I need one in my life and I am in Georgia. Looks like good times. My buddy had a tunnel hull jet Blown BBC that was crazy fun. He would trim it and do water wheelies with it until the carbs lost fuel and it would come back down. We would get those adrenaline laughs. Good times for sure
The start of the episode and watching Mike just glide over bumps with the air ride seat and Newbern being jolted by each bump made me wonder if they fight over who gets to drive Lincoln Hawk
HAHA!! I just came over from Cleetus, I saw you on Airline Drive in Bossier City, LA! I didn't recognize the truck, I just saw the (what looked like) Daytona Eliminator, I have an Eliminator 207. I can't wait to see this one, I'm subscribing for this!
If you guys want a badass GPS. I use this in my Peterbilt it is the DEZL (diesel) series. I have the OTR 800. I absolutely love love love this GPS. Also the DEZL 760 Is well worth it as well.
Here in Germany a lot of trailers come with 10 or 12" wheels, advantages being as you said, you can build the trailer lower to the ground when the wheels are under the bed. The dealership I work at has a tow truck that has dual 10" rear axles on airbags so you can lower the rear end to load up. Nothing to special about it. Does sacrifice some ride comfort though as opposed to regular 14" or 16" trailer wheels.
