This is a jet project   I did back in 2002, this season is the 10th anniversary for this boat.  This boat is the true meaning of a jet boat,, It is powered by a c 18 Rolls  Royce  and  I have given  lots of rides to the local boaters here in Hannibal Missouri,, The video is from august 19 2012 my beautiful wife and super dog named auggie,, Auggies first ride last year  was a bit scary  but since then she has become comfortable in the boat and she also started takeing rides and now short trips on the Harley,, my wife is getting used to my projects as I also have a jet truck for fun...season for this year is about over and winter plans are to do a teardown of the engine and freshen it up and plan to add a surface drive and get rid of the jet pump, this boat has been more fun and turned more heads than anything I have ever owned.. Due to the longivity of the turbin engines,, my hopes is to put the boat in a trust and my hopes that 3 or 4 hundred years from now maybe is is taken out on the river and driven  once a year to remember what once was in hannibal history...  

Jet Truck Hannibal MO 
jet truck project,, this truck is coupled up to auto matic transmission,, goes forward and reverse like normal car,, only the noise is extra bonus,, all the efforts went into the driveline the amount of gearing to accomplish the simple task of pulling up to stop without dragging down the turbin causeing a spool down and egt proublem was a very labor intense task,, the truck will function just like a normal car..
