Ya, he stays at the Islander, builds a new car every year it seems. He's done trucks, & Jeeps before. This one seemed to run best of all. I heard him and Bob Leach didn't get along to good this last weekend....

This is Dave March's latest version of the WaterCar -- called the Python -- Dodge truck front and Corvette tailend, seats 5 to 6. Also has Corvette (400+ HP) power. He's built several before and this one seems to run the best. In the 40 - 50 mph range on water, maybe 100 mph on land. Pretty cool -- it shifts from axle drive to jet drive on the fly -- wheels retract up into the fender wells when on the water. It will pull a wakeboarder. Lots of lookers when he drives down the launch ramp at about 20 mph and just keeps on going. Another model is just about done. Maybe a Long Beach to Catalina cruise planned for this September or October -- we'll keep you posted!

Twocents, since you seem to know Mr March, you might want to remind him that his "python" is a jet and when he goes bow down a two vehicle launch ramp, squzzing between two vehicles trying to put their boats on trailers, his stern with the jet is facing up the ramp and it ISN'T cool to have his jet blast everyone's trucks and push their boats around the trailer because he's to impatient to wait in line. :)st

You might also let him know that when he turns with the jetovator up he tends to DOUSE the inside of the boats he's running next too. :|err

He didn't have a big list of fans this weekend....

I saw it and got just 2 pictures of it on the 4th. Is this just water or can it drive on land. We were all commenting on how the front wheels turned when he turned the steering wheel.

I just checked and re-checked. Front wheels turn on all my cars and trucks when I turn the steering wheel. I must of missed something.
