Strange use for Decanter of Endless Water

[Bob5th]

I've been trying to come up with cool ideas for a ship that I'll be featuring in my campaign soon and I came up with this one earlier today. It's kinda out there but I was wanting to get some feedback on it.

Glue a bunch of Decanters of Endless Water onto a ship and turn them all onto geyser mode for movement.

I guess mostly I was wanting to get an idea of how fast they could push something and how much each one could push. I was thinking since a DC12 Strength check is required to hold on and since it will take a Strength of 14 to make the check on average then maybe the push of it should be equal to what a Strength 14 human could push. I guess that fact that each one will be pumping 300 gallons a minute might cause problems as well.

Well any feedback is welcome as are any other for making a interesting ship.

That'd be pretty cool, right up until someone says the command word at the wrong time and the ship smashes into the dock.

Also, IIRC as the water comes directly from the Elemental Plane of Water, a bunch of ships using this as a propulsion method would eventually flood the planet... Ok, so it might take millennia... But those on coral and sand islands, BEWARE the curse of the "Ships that move without sails and oars"!

Cheers, Al'Kelhar

Along with the "outboard motor-powered" Floating Disk, right?

Wow. Who needs an Iron Maiden for torture if you got one of those?
