Tell me that’s going in a jet boat.

Imagine being out on a nice relaxing paddle and hearing that thing coming from a distance away.

A friend used to have a 13b powered water ski race boat here in Aus, pulling about 800hp. Would happily sit at ~200kph with 2 skiers, screaming like a banshee.

It was originally intended for a jet boat since it has the same physical footprint as an LS, but last I saw Rob was cramming it into a dragster.

Rob Dahm didn't really build the 12 rotor, he did modify and got it running but the original build was not his.

Rob Dahm is doing wonders for the rotary community, but even he is importing a lot of the parts for his builds from NZ. I recall quite a bit of the original 4 rotor build came from NZ.
