The benifit is weight...your big block weighs 8-900 lbs. This is only 140 lbs. 88.5 MPH so far...Because of it's weight or lack of,it needs droop snoot,ride plate,B impellar for 100 + mph.Another beifit is 100k hrs at 100% engine...V8 blows up
Hello turbineboat, that's a nice piece of work. I am building an equivalent small turbine boat as well (in a faltboot), but I am struggling with the transmission. How did you solve this, because the rpm window of a gas turbine is rather small (30,000-52,000)? CVT or hydraulic pump and motor?
Just out of curiosity, how much better is the performance on that thing at 320hp compared to a regular big block or something? It looked like it kicks ass!!!!!!!!!!!
yay lake tampon.

You need to wear your PFD, even at the slow speeds this boat runs, things can happen...
