And they say our boats whine.
@DoubleThrust I found your next boat. A jet with a cabin.

And you thought the MR-1 engines rev'd high.
 
If you added a tower you would be set.
 
There used to be a boat on lake texoma that ran Huey helicopter jet engines. It sounded similar to the video. 7 or 8 years ago during a poker run there was a crash that killed 4 in Flash Gordon's ( Huey jet engines) and 1 in Nashville Katz. I'm not sure there was an official cause to the accident but I heard that because the jet engines could counter rotate from each other that the boat was known to catch an edge in choppy water and make hard right turns that were nearly uncontrollable. The accident on head on just after an up and back leg of the run.
 
I could easily see that happening when they start rising above the water. Maybe I will down load the audio and play it over the tower speakers before I take off.
 
Might not be very comfortable for the casual tubers in the crowd ...
 
Just watching that video I feel like I need to "pitch in for gas" (fuel).
 
I wonder how he goes about getting refueled. The last time I checked, most marinas don't handle jet fuel.
 
Dynamat and a stereo upgrade will quiet her down nicely!

If the marina doesn't carry it for some odd reason, you could always call one of these guys ...

You know, I thought about that!
 
You would have to be one bad ass dude to wakeboard behind that.
