Christensen said it appeared one of the two propellers came loose

Can we all take a moment to appreciate the sheer incompetence of the womble that wrote this, to repeatedly call the vessel a jet boat, then casually mention that a propeller came off? I also had a look at their Facebook page, (the racing team, that is) and they also say the cause of the crash was losing a propeller.

Top notch journalism.

    I wonder if they meant impeller? From what I can see on their FB page there’s no sign of an outboard propeller anywhere and it’s using a Chevy big block engine to power it.

    It may indeed be a jet boat. EDIT: Hard to draw conclusions actually, there’s not many details on the boat and the photos and videos aren’t revealing much
