    Hi Paddy - I have heard of the Hamilton jet but to be honest had never thought about the person behind that discovery... until now! I am surprised at how long the jet boat has been around. Thinking I would love to see the Grand Canyon from a jet boat - that would be thrilling!

    Wow that is really cool information. My brother is crazy about anything fast and it would be cool to tell him. It must of been scary travelling down the grand Canyon.
