No.

They put on a good show, but do nothing for me past that.

A turbine can run on almost any fuel. I think the Miss Geico team uses 100% biodiesel now. Another mix used is Jet A with 93 octane gasoline.

If I were going to have a "fast" boat and money were no object, there is nothing that sounds better than nasty big cube motors at high RPM. I would have a spare set to keep on rotation.

The only other thing I could see needing 2000 hp in would be a big Magnum etc. and would prefer monster diesel's.

What a great question!
Turbine Marines work is so outstanding that I would love to have a new cat rigged by them. Maybe give that new 48 MTI a shot, without a canopy. A definite "dream boat" $$$$$$$

Good taste, without a canopy that would be the ultimate poker run boat....just can't imagine running 200mph in an open cockpit, not that i've run 200mph though. lol....someday hopefully.
