Wow - crazy cool boat.... (beware 56k)
http://www.earthrace.net/view.asp?webpage=26
(look at wave piercing simulation vid)

Designed to be the fastest boat ever to race around the world. Made of pretty much all Carbon fiber and Kevlar.. Really crazy design. It is made to cut through waves so high that it will be totally submerged up to 20 feet.. Like half submarine.

Anyway, I just saw it on the Discovery Science Channel and found some pics on the web.

"no wake zone" is the aquatic equivalent of "slow children at play"

don't get me started on boater intelligence. I spend every weekend at lake (pretty much) kneeboarding/wakeboarding/drinking. The overall boating community is composed of total dipshits, who don't know the first thing about boater safety. They dont follow any rules or boating ettiquite. It really pisses me off cause you can get seriously injured/injure other people if you aren't careful.

I saw a kid get sucked into the propeller this weekend grabbing for a ski rope. It was not a pretty sight.

Yeah boats, especially motor boats of any kind need to be respected.. Getting drunk and driving them around like a nutcase isn't cool.

a person driving a boat, is still just as liable for driving a car. my pops has a boat we take out once in a while, i drive it, and i'm smart about it too. i like to have fun out in the water, but i have it safely .

this one time i went to a lake about 30min. from home for the first time, and a little girl who was 12yrs. old was hit by a boat trying to get back up on her wave-runner. she had one of her legs crushed. she died a few days later.
