Re: So how many turbine powered boats made it to Key West ?
"The Big Callan V hull had CAT Diesels."
Sorry, I assumed it was the Callan I saw in St. Pete in 2000. That boat was cool.. I'll post the pics from 2000 when we scan them.
The boat was on land had 2 Huge surface props and 1 smaller in the center for docking which ran on an diesel engine. The other 2 off Turbine.

probably the same boat, it was re-rigged with diesels, you could still see the knockouts where the turbine exhuast was...

Makes sense NOW 
I liked the old better but probably more sensable to run now.

Re: So how many turbine powered boats made it to Key West ?
I am pretty sure that is a whole different boat. David reads the board so maybe he'll let us know. It runs 85 with the diesels.

Re: So how many turbine powered boats made it to Key West ?
it is a different boat, the exhaust dumps up high on the sides on the turbine model, and on the corners of the swim platform on the diesel. i don't know what those holes are for on the swim platform...

Re: So how many turbine powered boats made it to Key West ?
The boats are differnet V bottoms. The first one with turbines is a 55' and the second one with the Cat diesels is the new 62'.
The holes in the back you are referring to are air vent holes for the propellers.

Re: So how many turbine powered boats made it to Key West ?
Glass Dave,
Answers.... In Hellfire's (T53-1500hp each) case the fuel consumtion is less than Callens (T- 55L11d's-4000hp each) . Hellfire burns 110 GPH x 2 or 3.6 gal a min for both motors at WOT.
Throttling is performed the same way you throttle a High Speed Catamaran with slightly less throw and a smooth sharp action.
Hellfire's owner is bumping up her horsepower to 1800 per side at the momment and will debut next years poker run scene with a new look.
