Wonder how that thing is propelled. I would think he would have had to extend the outdrive so he still gets the prop in the water when it gets up on its wings.

Volvo motor and outdrive extended 30". This one has been around for a while, I found it surfing the net a year or two ago. I will try to find it again. I like the no wake factor, I wonder what the Marine Patrol would say when you were seen blasting thru the no wake zones at 35knts.. I would have issues with trailering and nosing up to the beach.. Very cool but not practical for my use.

Here is the link to the owner's website with all the details. http://www.foils.org/talaria.htm
