I remeber watching the Turbocart Vids a few years back. I ended up finding that site a few years after Seeing Mark Nye's projects with Squirt and Squirt 2.

I'd definatly do a little Allison T-63 in something ... I also have a 18' Tahiti Jet Boat too.

I'm pretty much at the point where we dont care what it is or what it goes in .. We just need a Turbine! hahahahaha
