I used to race a Jet Boat in Zambia. It had a 16' glass fibre hull with a 289 cu/in (4,750 cc) V8 engine from a Ford Thunderbird driving a two-stage Hamilton Jet. You can watch a Super8 cine film of our boat "Shoestring" which I used to share with my friend Brian Bax in this same folder.
This video was shot in Queensland New Zealand and I am sitting behind the driver.
