Another interesting boat...Highliner Lodge Expedition Vessel Pelican.flv - YouTube
Spent the afternoon anchored at Savary so the widgets could swim...
We were in the lock recently with this boat. This is the stern. All of the steering mechanism is bronze and outside the boat.

1000 HP and 50 gph.....to do 25knots wide open? Woof! I can understand the price drop........give it away.....
Some people can actually afford that.
My dad built (had built) a 50' jet boat (sled) with a Kevlar hull and twin 8-71 turbo'd Detroit's and it went way over 25 knots.
The boat "Stikine Princess" was intended to be run on the river of her name to Telegraph Creek. Quite a few people owned her down through the years. Heard stories about her being run over large log jams at speed (40 knots or so) but then stories are stories. The seats were all angled so people could look at the riverbank fly by w/o looking sideways. Dad's idea.
Dad didn't build the Princess for himself but wanted to see high speed boat service on the Stikine River. Several owners made a short go of it but I last saw the Princess in Kake owned by an admirer since launch day. He finally managed to buy her for cheap.
