Jet Boat Movie

If you have QuickTime installed on your computer you can watch this movie taken from the jet boat. It will take a minute or two to load - click the play button when its fully loaded. Sorry about the water on the lens - there was quite a lot of water flying everywhere! Also, the sound isn't so good - too much wind noise. I think I can do this movie much better bext time!

The "Twin Rivers" jet boat is big for a jet boat - it seats about 20. Its powered by two 350 cubic inch Chevy V8s, together producing about 700 horses. The jet units pump 65,000 litres per minute. The engines use a litre of fuel every minute. The boat is capable of 85 km/h.
