again you are asking a guy that has spent lots of money on seveal boats to break 70mph... all i have found is that boats are like golfers.... everyone has a 2 handicap... If I had a nickel for every boat that its owner told me went 70 + I would be in a 50' outerlimits.... and living in key west in a mansion with a private dock and a butler with a 21 yr old maid.......

ah what model, a t53 like Gerrys would be to long for a 24footer. theres a turbine y2k 7x32 superboat and part of the turbine sits in the cockpit. where the backseat is. its smaller than a t53. Art:cartman:

Thank you I appreciate the compliment. BTW the Around Long Island Marathon has just been opened up to include TURBINES !!!!

We had a couple of guys who have wanted in for a couple of years and we finally caved. So......maybe if you have the interest, we could build you something that will show very well in that race. As you can see by the Bushmills video, if you spend a lot of time in the air....it never hurts at all.

race
 
that water was rough and you were in the air quite a bit... you know me I go through these phases.... turbine would be fun....
