Purple Hornet,

What's the scoop on this boat, PH?

PURPLE HORNET 10-30-2008 12:15 PM

The boat runs over 100 plus mph. I know the radared speed runs that it did. Its not my boat to comment on but it is good for over 100 plus.

Custom built twin turbo motor with a #6 drive. Super fast!

Pretty cool....Is there a thread on this setup? I'm curious on the turbos on a marine engine

I don't think so, I know about the boat because I have meet Bill and seen the boat in person.

What kind of information are you looking about the engine configuration? Since that engine picture was taken the turbos, exhaust and intercooler have been replaced.

I was just wondering about the water cooling with teh exhaust system with the turbos

We don't water cool the turbo housings but we do have a water cooled shield that protects the engine hatch. The exhaust pipes are water cooled.
