    50 mph on the water feels like you're traveling at warp speed. This must be absolutely insane.

      It’s not an ocean boat,
      it’s a river boat.
      A 23 foot boat wouldn’t carry much and not much range with the fuel consumption-
      flat bottoms aren’t much for blue water.
      Container ships carry huge loads all the time and you can’t search them all.
      Not glamorous but much more effective.

    since this is a jet drive maybe an afterburner could give additional boost from the back kind of a dual propulsion jet drive until a certain speed second stage afterburner

    First time I think I’ve ever sworn out loud watching a boating video. Stunning stuff. How much on the edge is the boat trimwise at that kind of speed? Looked pretty damn stable!! How much drive and adjustment is needed as the speed rises and fuel mass burns off? Guessing it’s a surface drive rather than an outdrive for that much power! Amazing. Thank you for sharing! Edit. Just realised it New Zealand so jetboat I’m guessing eh?
