I work on a project occasionally that uses an 11 meter RHIB with twin diesels and jet drives. That thing can SERIOUSLY use some fuel. We had it pretty loaded down when originally testing the concept we were using it for but at full throttle it would only do 16kts...(we were towing a sonar system at the time also with about 1K lbs of tow tension.)

This is the unmanned version they have now but we were testing it with a manned boat. I'm an operator/electronics tech for the white and orange sonar system on the back. Doing it for 18 years.

I bet that boat would sell quicker if it had Seadeck on it. Quick someone email him and have him join, that could be the order that gets us to 30%! Its like 4 or 5 kits!
 
Did you notice the jets toe out? Interesting...

I thinks it's an illusion. To me it looks like they are turned slightly for a right turn.
 
I saw that boat too! For 125m you think they'd clean it up a little more!
 
Ackermann for jet nozzles LOL.
