Sent diesel turbines to the scrapyard...? Do you realize that over half of the fuel used in this boat is lost to maintaining the compressor levels and ignition. It is extremely uneconomical. It a hot boat for going fast for a short period of time but your cost of operation is 5-6 times that of a diesel. Take a set of 440 hp Yanmars into a surface drive and CRUiSE the same boat at 60 knots for 140 litre/hour vs over 1000 liters per hour turbine....who has that much fuel?
@charles81076 I think the announcer is either wearing very tight underware or his nut havent dropped yet...but you are right...he does sound like a retard.
Forget the goggle comments. Thank God y'all weren't wearing fighter pilot helmets and popping totally unnecessary showoff flames out the exhausts. Is that a PT-6 or that new less expensive equivalent turboprop they use in cropdusters? Does it drive a jet pump or a prop? Very nice boat, I wish I had it. If I win the Lotto I'll call you when the check clears. 'Till then, the 16ft with Evinrude 70hp will have to do...
1) Unlike piston motors, urbines typically run thousands of hours before major service.
2) Turbines burn 4-6% more fuel than piston engines.
3) Turbines weigh half what a piston engine does. Less weight=faster speeds/better fuel economy.
4) Turbines do cost more than piston engines but you make that up with less service. Buy your turbine boat from someone who will service it when the time comes.
If I'm going to run only 800hp might as well have piston engine. It's probably cheaper and quieter. If your turbine doesn't go 180mph+ it isn't worth it. It'll sound to fast for what it does. Two-Stroke FTW!
i kinda agree i think i would rather hear the roar of a v8 then the whine of a turbine, i dont know why people like that noise, So yeah it sounds like you doing 100 when your doing 30
i don't know about better gas millage, turbines burn almost as much at idle as they do at full throttle. the rest is true though, seems like more of a race application to me though, imagine trying pull someone behind you, actually, that is what hand signals are for
sorry man but turbines get way better gas milage..look at this..im a tank mech.. the abrams use a agt1500, it makes 1500hp and get around 1 mpg. tugging 72 tons...are recovery is a 88 it have a tein turbo v12 des..and has around 1100 hp and also weights 70 tons and gets 1mpg on a good day..so the turbine make 400 more hp and get the same mpg..the agt burn most of the fuel thats entered in the flme tube..the 88 is like a damn train..so much unburned fuel..cant even stand behind it..
Sorry Charlie, the M1 FADEC will suck the 500 gallon fuel tank dry in less than 30 miles at max load...(You think the turbine makes 1500 hp all the time?) Anyway, not sure what your education is but the M1 gets .6 miles per gallon (TACTICAL IDEAL) but in practice less. IF you take a coarse in thermodynamics you will find over half the fuel consumed by ANY turbine is used to sustain compression and combustion VS under 28 % for comparable diesel. Turbines are great in planes
Only 10 will be made??? Thank goodness for small miracles. What a P>O>S>

Considering the Bass Boat speed record is over 110 MPH I'll put money on an Allison or Bullet over that boat. Looks like it's doing about 80MPH.
