I had to do it in CT back in 1993 or so. They didn't grandfather anyone. My favorite part, and I don't give CT politicians credit for much, was that to get the jet ski license you had to take the boating course AND then the jet ski course. I thought that was a particularly brilliant strategy against the scourge of the waterways.
Holy Hell! The F1 of the water
Crazy impressive!
So amazing the technolgy change in that race in a decade.

I think this video really shows their speed. Looks like a solid 40 knots and Team Emirates NZ says they can do 50 knots. Hell, I start getting white knuckled at 18 knots.

Oh yeah! The world’s most expensive and most luxurious submarine-superyacht hybrid. Named after an albino whale. But what makes it special and impressive? Not only is Migaloo submarine/yacht, but also it is more like a floating city. Moreover, it boasts a 3-meter swimming pool, cinema room, helipad, library, gym, laundry room, and private lounges, elevator shafts, it a means to maneuver the levels, a two-level owner’s suite, eight VIP-suites, and a spacious over-bridge pass. Migaloo Submersible Yacht costs an arm and a leg -$2.3 billion, which makes it the jewel in the crown, compared to other private submarines.
That is still hilarious, thanks.
Never gets old.
Lol, I forgot all about that. Good stuff.
And holy shit was American Magic fast in that clip above.

Those will sell. With no need for the entire casing to move, they can squeeze them onto more boats.
65 ft CC anyone? It's coming.
5,000 pounds hanging on the transom

^^ Some slick boat driving. "Everybody wants to be captain until there's captain stuff to do" is a great line. I wonder what those swells are 20'? 25'? Yikes. They must have had a good reason for trying that under those conditions.
Damn that's impressive. I have no interest in piloting big ships. Small boats for me please.
Somehow I knew that was going to be that St. Paul vid. Sometimes I miss the Bering.
I was going to post this. It looks like you need a training course in how to run it. Fuck me, turn the key and give me a control box...Quote:

Pretty awesome all the innovation they put into this one. Looks like a hog as the ass, the side view is much nicer though. It will be interesting to see who mounts these as soon as they are available to repower customers. Just about every go-fast day boater is going to be dropping the 450r they have and mounting one of these The best part of this motor might be the supposed ease of maintenance.
It’s cool how the top of the motor is always stationary and the only the propeller housing turns
This thread delivers btw. Not to hijack too bad buuuuuut......
Anybody else mash the lyrics of the super silly “I’m on a boat” up against the super serial and sensitive music of “souther cross”
(I don’t mind either FTR)
(K it’s like to the tune of southern cross but with like these lyrics, or whichever you make up.,)
Look at me mutha fukah
Cuz I’m on a boat
89 feet on the waterline
Nicely making way
You can’t stop me now
Because I’m on a boat
Heeling 34 degree
While we cried and we lied
And we wailed
And we failed
But now I’m out sailing
And I’m on a boat
Doing five knots
Wind whipping at my coat
I saw a constellation
That defies
my supposed BEARING!!!
Look at me mutha fucker
Cuz I’m on a boat
Got a guitar
Not a turntable
While On my boat
You can’t stop me now
How how how how how
I have been arou
Round round the world!!
You think you can stop me
But im on a boat
