Jetboat with two 700hp Turbo-Diesel Scania V8s pulls beached launch

This launch lost all engine power due to the anchor being accidentally dropped while it was cruzing and the anchor chain then wrapped around the prop. The launch then drifted onto the beach so a local crayfishing boat called Legionaire with two 700hp Scania turbo-diesel V8's with two Hamilton jet-units pulled it back out to sea. Legionaire is the largest trailerable jet boat in the Southern Hemisphere (50ft).

When the launch got back out to sea did it still have a transom on it?

;o)

yeah I actually asked that before I read the description.I used to work on a boat powered by two 480hp Scania 6cyl turbos,didnt have that v8 note obviously but even the 6cyl scanias had a sound of their own.

Yep.. they make trucks.. I think they are V8 turbo diesels.. . you can find lots of vids on youtube of the trucks... they do have a very cool sound.. and are powerfull too.
