we should all put our money together adn buy this http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/1996-...00154658QQrdZ1 . take z excursions at over 100 mph.......ok in all reality, what are the chances of someone buying that...i dotn see the practicality

 

That is indeed a sick boat!!!

 

The way I see it, buying this thing is more practical then buying a car for the same price. At least w/ this boat, you could hit the waters and expereince this thing's true potential, unlike a car where you break the speed limit and John Q Law will be all over you............of couse, in the end, I'd take the car, i'm not a boat person.

 

to much for to little lol

 

lol some body call the coast gaurds i see the drug dealers in columbia just bought them selves an new drug smuggling boat lol

 

seriously, who would service this thing for you?
where would you go to fuel it?
i guess if i hafta ask these questions i can't afford it

 

When I worked at Nissan... the big thing was for all the techs to bring in their power boats on Saturday & service them at the end of the day. Yeah... that lasted about 3 months & then they all disappeared & we got new techs. I guess Nissan frowned upon that?

 

Said it was diesel powered. hell a jet will run on kerosene after it fires up.

 

that it will...im into the R/C airplane world like crazy, just got a new plane today. 8 footer with a 60cc gas motor in the baby. the R/C turbine engines spool to like 150,000 rpm's and run off of kerosene.....lots of kerosene......lots and lots of kerosene...what isnt used for pneumatics radio equipment and the turbine and ducting....is all fuel tank....like up to a gallon almost....most only do like 50 60 oz. ....ok i gotta ask is anyone else into R/C planes or is it just me? cuase its cool as hell but osmetimes i feel like im the only one who thinks so?

 

Nah R/C planes are cool, and all. But an expensive hobby for me. Of course I have too many right now, and not all the money to keep them going. So I pretty much focus on my Z right now. But I remember back when I was growing up. My dad used to have a couple of planes. They were cool to watch no doubt.

 

I love R/C planes, but I can't fly them very well. This is a scary fact considering that I have been a private pilot for 18 years and have logged over 1700 hours in the air. I can fly the real thing, but those little R/C jobs screw me all up!

Rod.

 

haha...thats nuts...yeah im like pretty good i guess...i beat the top gun in our club in a combat event (for those who dont know, combat= small manueverable planes making fast tight at speeds up to and over 100 mph trying to cut a streamer attatched to the other plane) so meh...and i got my FAA medical liscense passed with no restrictions. so come college ill have my first 2 or 3 liscenses after semester one...goin into commercial piloting. hopefully im as good at the real thing.

 

this is true. common jet fuel we used on the F16's was JP8. that's like 98% kerosene

 

We used to fire on jet A and switch to diesel for test when we had them on the run up frame. It was a lot cheaper back in the 70's.
