Sports: Jet Boat Defies Rules Demonstration of a new 'aqua-jet', an inboard speedster without propeller or rudder that has streaking speed, incredible maneuverability. With only 3 inches draft, and no prop to snag, the boat skims through dense swamp grass, and across dry land! Innovative. Why didn't this catch on? Interesting high angle view of wake from jet engine.
