System to propel an air powered boat

An air powered boat having an air propulsion system comprising:

• a) means for propelling the boat in every one of a forward, reverse and at least one neutral thrust turning direction having an engine powering a propeller in a single rotational direction wherein the means for propelling includes a pivoting mechanism for pivoting the propeller about a transverse horizontal axis from a first position in which the axis of the propeller is disposed horizontally to produce a thrust to move the boat forward through a second position in which the propeller produces a neutral thrust turning torque to a third position in which the axis of the propeller is disposed horizontally to produce a thrust to move the boat in reverse to a fourth position in which the propeller produces a neutral thrust turning torque, wherein the second position produces a downward neutral thrust turning torque which turns the boat to the left and the fourth position produces an upward neutral thrust turning torque which turns the boat to the right;
• and
• b) a securing mechanism attaching the means for propelling to the boat.

• and
• b) a securing mechanism attaching the means for propelling to the boat, wherein the direction of thrust from the propeller is rotated through a 360 degree arc as the propeller is pivoted about the horizontal axis to propel the boat in every one of a forward direction, a neutral left thrust turning direction, a reverse direction, and a neutral right thrust turning direction.
