Saw these outside Cowes on Sunday - a BananaShark prototype thing which seemed to have a few directional issues, but the guy followed us out and showed off a bit. Seemed to go quite well (even if he did smack down a bit hard off the redjet wash). We couldn't quite make out what sort of drive it was though - it seemed to have a leg-like contraption on the stern. Console looked to be jezbanks-compliant plywood /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif

Edit: More digging, and the drive was Mercruisers 1.7 litre diesel jet drive.

And this monster thing that was really hacking along. Wigoo still managed to produce cups of coffee on the flybridge as we were bouncing through its wake though!

Edit: Aha, this looks to be the new Den Helder rescue boat

F37 passes the Gludy Test, though I did have to hold the kettle down in that wake. Mugs in the sink and then it doesn't matter where the boiling water goes (still managed to miss the sink at one point, though). Milk was trickier to aim.
