Let's all chip in and buy this ship!

wow pretty cheap for its size.. 500HP though.. how the heck is that going to move the ship?

EDIT: nm just enlarged the pic.. looks a lot smaller than I thought it was.
 
It's 250 feet. Still big for 500hp, but I guess it works. I suppose we should keep in mind that while a Dodge Viper has equivalent HP, it's using about 20hp for highway cruising. This engine may be capable of making 500hp continuously.

Horsepower is not what matters here, it's the torque... When will you guys ever learn?

It's a boat. Torque doesn't matter since it can be geared to whatever you want, and that may not even be necessary.
