Washington Post:
Years of puttering around the workshop finally have paid off for a local inventor, whose work appeared in the July edition of Popular Mechanics.
Jim Garlitz, who operates a pizza shop in this small unincorporated town in the Western Maryland mountains, was featured for a watercraft he assembled using a 1985 red Yamaha Virago motorcycle frame, a 1990 9.9-horsepower Nissan outboard motor and other ‘readily available materials.’
He calls it a water chopper.
The chopper’s hydrofoils, like the wings on a plane, can propel the rider off the surface of the water for a noiseless, smooth ride. The magazine said the water chopper would make an excellent platform for fly-fishing.
‘You can sustain that flight on the foils for as long as you want to,’ Garlitz said. ‘That’s the beauty of it. You’re virtually flying.’
