    Remember that video of a Tunze stream pump powering a fishing boat? Well it might be a while before a prop pump can match a JetLev jetpack. The JetLev R200 can thrust you 30 feet in the air and take you 80 miles down the river at 25 MPH. The R200 is truly in the realm of mad science with a 'boat unit' that you drag along that uses a 200 HP 4-stroke to suck up a serious amount of water and shoot it through a 33' hose and out of your jetpack. If that doesn't make you scream, you might when you see the $100,000 price tag. Available this spring.
