It goes 6 mph (hmmm wonder if that is GPS :biggrin2 ) and only takes up 1/4 of the boat. Sign me up already.
I guess if your dumb enough to buy into the global fraud, your dumb enough to buy one of those. What can you say, they know their targets.

Ya I thought it was pretty funny! They seem to care more about the environment then safety! I bet the splat splat noise is not so quiet either! :eviltaunt

How do you balance the paddle wheels if you dent one by hitting a log or rock? Anything that goes between the two logs are sure to hit the paddles. Water hyacints will surely clog it up worse than a prop.

"Fun and excitement in front of you..."

Yeah, if you ever get to it at 6mph. That's rediculous.

That guy was incredibly monotone and boring, which I thought fit the boat well. :thumbsup

Is that 6 mph down hill? Bassfrequency what kind of amps can you hook up to that for a sound system? :nana Well second thought, your sound system has more power than that one. :tofunny

Hell I get 4.5 mpg GPS with my 36 volt TM and it doesn't take up half the toon and I can go where that thing can't and I still have the go fast engine, so I'll pass.
