I would imagine the weather starting to change over there, did you manage to get any more testing done before the end of the boating season?
Hows the EGTs did you manage to get them down and how did the rotation swap go.

I had the pleasure of getting to see one of the turbine statements ( only one?) It was in key west years back.
Great looking boat and some trick features were designed into it!
like this carbon fresh air intake. Air ride cockpit.
Terrible ending to her,

Rumour was a UJ let go and took out an oil line out that caused the fire, but realistically there's nothing on the turbine gets hot enough to ignite any oil that might have been present in this event.
