Bit heavy on fuel though -

290 gallons an hour when full throttle.

290 US Gallons is 1,098 litres an hour @ £1.40 = £1,537 an hour!

Well Done

Well Done Cookee
if you read the video, it does say that this video cost about £1000 to make in fuel alone (Could be $1000) depending on exchange rate etc

It would be $1000 - that comment wasn't made by anyone connected to the video though.

At $4.20 per gallon in California $1000 would only get you around 50 minutes running at wide open throttle proving that guy has no clue what he's talking about!

Fuel prices

Jeez, it is fast isn't it... You'd need to be sure of clear water, you'd not want to clip a sleeper at that speed...
