Turbo warship!

WWII would have had some very different outcomes if the warships were able to do what this one can; a TGV would have difficulty keeping up with it!

Surprisingly stable for such an over-powered hull - but the wave pattern is all wrong.

Yeah well that is a fast boat, some power going to the prop, because you can see the water from amidships is sucked into the screw before it touches the hull, very interesting footage.

But it keeps 'em on the knife.

May I just point out that the exploding boat is not the kind of thing we need in our hobby.

It gives us a bad reputation and leads to the closure of clubs.
