Quote from: ebay
The current engines have 0 miles and have never been in the water, although the boat has been in the water and has allegedly traveled 150mph according to a GPS.

It would be a handful to drive by yourself with 2 Manuel place diverters unless somehow they are connected to each other somewhere?
Crazy people and there crazy ideas!

I think you guys are missing the biggest issue other thaan someone had way more money than brains. See how far apart those pump intakes are and how far off center they are? Id be willing to bet at 60 if it really could even go that fast youd be sucking more air than water and what happens when you make a sharp turn? One pump unloads and motor blows because you grab every lever but the right throttle lever.
