And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.

How to do structural damage to an otherwise perfectly fine boat
Maybe not, though. This looks like one of those Canadian river-running boats. They have a huge amount of horsepower powering a water-propulsion jet (no prop) and they get their kicks running upstream against river rapids, sometimes pretty ferocious ones. Sometimes it takes a few tries to hit the standing waves just right to slip past them. The hulls are about 1" thick solid aluminum to take the shocks of bouncing off the rocks all the way up. Canadians know how to make their own fun, of course it helps to be bored and half-crazy to start with.

ReplyDeleteThere is a river boat made in Fairbanks, Alaska which is designed to go over sandbars in the summer. Has a clean out for the jet unit.
ReplyDeleteThe chase scene in "Live and let die" comes to mind.
ReplyDeleteFirst, you rent the boat....
