These are the kind of people you want to immigrate into this county. Ingenious, determined, willing to take a chance. Everything that made this country great, and we turn them back.<br /><br />Yet our government looks the other way when they know there are millions of illegals in this country, using our resources, cluttering our courts, commiting crimes with no fear of being deported.

"Nothing to do with Boats" or would the proper place be "Project Boats" ;) The article on ryans link says they were making 8 mph Not Bad, only 5 hours from Florida at that speed. Seems a shame the coast gaurd deemed it a hazard to navigation and sank it though.<br /><br />OB,.... :D What can I say :D

A couple of them guys are wearing PFD's!!!<br /><br />If they had only ordered a higher pitch prop from iboats, they could have hit 15 mph and made the crossing under the cloak of darkness.<br /><br />How in the world did they steer that thing?

they used the front tires as rudders, just like amphicars ...<br /><br />Damned clever, those cubans!
