Back in the days of somewhat indestructible electronics, we surfaced our submarine in the Tongue of the Ocean (TOTO, yes a real place) for a swim call. A rogue wave washed my Walkman overboard. I dove down about 30 feet after it (looking down at another 6000 feet below me), rinsed it with fresh water, put it in a box of rice, and it worked for another 5 years until I broke the headphone jack.

EDIT: Found an actual photo from that day! Absolutely flat until that crazy wave swept us all off the deck.

Not enough HP to be dangerous. Get a Hydrostream with a 2.5 MercView attachment 8243072
Fastest I've ever been on water was in a Hydrostream Vector. 200 Mariner on it, and the hull didn't touch water at full tilt. Friggin scary. Clocked over 100 that day; cops and lake patrol didn't leave until she was on the trailer. Insane fast.

I tried to buy a Hondo V-drive flat bottom with a blown big block but moron lost the title and it was near impossible to replace them at the time here.
