Americans love speed


Lots of posts lately from Amphi Owners wanting to go faster. Brass
props, cavitation issues, and computer simulations are proposed
ideas! If you truly want your Amphi to act more like a jet ski, there
is an answer that hasn't been considered!

By the way, this isn't my idea, it comes from a guy named Jack, but I
will present it for you to mull on! Here goes:

Affix multi bladed paddlewheels to the outside of your rear tires!
These could range from finned hubcaps to 16" diameter assemblies
attached to your lug nuts. Heck, make a quick disconnect and remove
them for street use so you don't have to act like James Bond, cutting
everyones tyres as you go down the road! I can see it now, 3rd gear,
3000 rpm, two roostertails, and pulling two skiers! What do you
think????
