Next thing you know, they'll be building a hover Gladiator. They can name it "Skimmer".

Why just one Merc? Let’s strap a pair to the tailgate.
IDK, I'd think two 600HP Merc outboards may exceed the Coast Guard max rating.

But it would be fun as shit until you have to cross a real boat's wake...

It’s a gladiator boat, and what I’m most annoyed by is the 6x6 on the windshield.
According to them instead of the output shaft from the leading rear axle driving the back axle it drives a propeller. So that's "technically" a 6x6 somehow? Maybe a 6x5 is the better way to write it? even so, their typical customer has zero taste and clearly doesn't care.

Better: I don't think these clowns had enough engineering prowess to install a clutch so the prop probably is spinning fully powered as you're driving down the road. Be careful backing up!
