I fly RC aircraft and this is the most impressive thing I've seen in boats ever. Love the sound of that gearbox, just an incredible feat of model machinery.
The BEST Turbine Powered Racing Boat, I have ever seen. The first clip I saw of a Jet-turbine powered boat was pathetic, it was the slowest thing I saw with a turbine engine. It was a white boat with JET-A27 or something like that on the side of it, on a deep vee style boat, & it had a huge turbine engine on the mid-inside rear of the boat.This Budweiser Racing Boat SMOKED it all the way.GREAT JOB!
wicked boat were can i get one or plans to make one i have a 1/8 scale gas boat but would like to put a turbine in it. if i had to gess how fast that would go it would have to top atlest 100+ with the right prop and fine tuneing
The boat is not mine, it belonged to the gentleman you see starting it. I filmed this run in Orlando Florida in January 07. I can tell you he was going light on the throttle. I would guess it was running around 60mph with more to go!
@modelgasboats Theres a fella named Jurgen Kuhler in Florida, who makes Budweiser hydros and he said that a 1/8th scale is too small but he recommends a 1/6th scale, cause these engines are too powerful, plus a bigger hull allows for more fuel capacity, thus longer running times. I ordered a marine gas turbine set up from a company in Florida and I have a 1/8th Miss. Budweiser thats never been ran. What do you recommend? Buy the bigger 1/6th? Do they make a 1/5 scale Miss. Budweiser?
@modelgasboats Orlando, Florida. I visited Orlando three times this year. What lake was that? I want to go to that very spot. Also, how long is that boat? I have a 48 " Miss. Budweiser and I want to put a gas turbine inside of it.
in my opinion i dont realy like the hull of the boat.

light on the throttle and then 60 mph.
I wonder how much it goes when he pushes it.
Is it driven by a prop or entirely by the thrust?
