Very cool and a favorite, it sure looks like we've witnessed Zero Prop Slippage for the first time:shocking: except when he shifts into high gear and that boy will never told: Son you need more seat time to handle a boat. LMAO!
I was reading about a few that ran dual prop shafts running of a splitter to control the prop walk, could not tell if either of those were setup that way.

Many, if not most, "Top Fuel Nitro" drag boats use dual props & shafts driven through "W" shaped custom built gearboxes.
Speeds attained are typically 200++ MPH.
