Suprised I didn't see that boat leaving Taod. I work right across the street. Everything that leaves Deans shop looks sick!

cosmic12 07-04-2007 12:40 PM

I had heard romors about this boat, guess they were true. Way cool, love the colors

Canada Jeff 07-04-2007 12:46 PM

Trying to have it ready for Thousand Islands Poker run in August. Fingers crossed, being riged in Florida with Turbines now.

pullmytrigger 07-04-2007 07:38 PM

sheesh jeff.......the original My Way turbine boat wasnt fast enough???........that thing is a rocketship.....how fast is this thing??

Coolerman 07-04-2007 08:49 PM

what size turbines are goin in it?

ToTheMax 07-04-2007 10:26 PM

Hopefully it makes it in time for the 1000 Islands! I fell in love with the original My Way when I first saw it at the run from Gan in '03 :drink:

Boatlesss 07-05-2007 01:26 AM

Nice looking.

The paint job looks a LOT like the Gold Diggers though.

Same patters and such.

hunster 07-05-2007 03:43 AM

I like it !! At least it's not straight off the crayola color pallet. :D

bgchuby01 07-05-2007 04:47 AM

my other friends skater is at Turbine Marine and they have lied to him about a finish date. I hope they keep there promise to Bill but I don't see that

He was down there last week to 'give them a push' :-)

I hope it will be ready too, but it isn't something you want to rush to fast.

This one will be safer PMT (canopies). They will have cameras and monitors to see behind them for docking.

jimmyjr 07-05-2007 07:54 AM

i really hope that this new my way makes it to the thousand islands run.bill is a class act,so is his brother.ihave spent many years around the area.and have seen all of bills boats from the sonic and when ron had his twin engine eliminator to the red challenger to the first skater w/cobras,then finally the change over to the turbines.the whole family has class and deserve the best.when i tried to start my buisness in brockville ron would stop to see me from time to time.and you would never know that his dad had the coolest boat in the whole thousand islands.or his uncle had the coolest apache around.these people are in the sport purely beacause they love it.i just wish that when i started to sell high performance boats in the area.that i had them for customers.these guys are great people

spilman 07-05-2007 08:22 AM

So true....We've talked to Bill @ the last few poker runs and he is very humble.....a true enthusiast of the sport. This new cat is expected to be faster; 225-240mph could be possible. Only 1 way to know....I'd bet he'll be ready for August 11; he is usually given priority service. Can't wait to see him running up the river!!

Canada Jeff 07-05-2007 09:09 AM

Wow, nice to read the last two posts. Cheers guys.

oh, Jimmyjr, I bought Ron's red Chalenger from him mid 90's and learned ALOT from that boat ! And from Ron himself too.

Dad still has his Apache, 2nd one now, single step.

so true

We are learning some very important lessons on the race course that will be applied directly to customers pleasure boats. These will make them safer and much faster. I work with Arruda and team on our race boats (Miss GEICO) daily and he does not LIE to anyone. It's not his nature.
If it is humanly possible they do their best to get it done and done right. Most Importantly he wont let a boat out of the shop that hasn't been tested and is safe. Quite a bit of the equipment is fabricated by TM which takes time.


If you are friends of either of the owners of either Hellfire or My Way and plan on riding in them at high speeds I would suggest you let Turbine Marine do their thing.

Once the boat is done and it's getting on plane about to make a 175+ mph run you don't want any second thoughts that it was rushed....

KNOT-RIGHT 07-05-2007 11:06 AM

Awsome boat!!




I am assuming this will be the first OL cat to be rigged
with Turbines.

Let me think Outloud.
A Michael Peters Design hull... Built by Outerlimits...
Rigged with t53,s by John Arruda.

What a Top Notch combo!

I wish them the best of luck.

What does PMT mean?

I didn't want to type out Pullmytriggers name. So I types PMT instead.

bgchuby01 07-05-2007 04:25 PM

I feel bad for the owner of Hellfire. He was first told the engines were in the boat and the boat on the trailer. When he went down there the engines were still on their stands and the boat was still on its jacks. Then he was told it was started up on a hose and run. NOT. Boat has never left its stands inside of the shop. The owner of Hellfire told me that when your raceboats show up, all the work on the pleasure boats comes to a halt. John may be the best person for these engines but his time frames don't add up

Sorry to hear that...

Good help is hard to find, probly impossible in that type of neighborhood (extreme rigging/engines).

Don't want to hijack the thread, but does anyone know the top end of HellFire?

Wow, what are they doing to get those speeds? Putting in 6 T-53's?

Won't it wake more than just T-53's to reach those speeds?

maxonmike 07-05-2007 08:51 PM

Whats going to happen to the old My Way???? How Much???

I agree 100%

Best of luck with the new boat.

I agree...but, I hate hearing about people getting lied to all the time in this industry. Seems like it is happening more and more recently. I hope the boat is done on time and correctly. BEAUTIFUL BOAT!!!:cool:

bgchuby01 07-05-2007 09:47 PM

My friend would not mind waiting if John would just tell him what is really happening. Yes good things take time

It was sold over the winter. I believe I seen pictures of it at some poker run in Havazoo this spring on this site.

bgchuby01 07-06-2007 07:14 AM

Yes it was at Desert Storm in Apil. Boat looked great and ran fantastic

Gduke 07-21-2007 12:54 AM

Do you know what size turbines will be in it? more hp than the previous?

Canada Jeff 07-23-2007 09:19 AM

I think the same turbines, I'm unsure.

Here it is.

DollaBill 07-23-2007 04:50 PM

Not to be a dikk, and I may not know of any new info, but isn' Gold Digger still sitting in a shop NOWHERE near 200 MPH?

How can anyone say this boat will run any speed?????

GLH 07-24-2007 04:17 AM

Sick boat

Wow!

Weight to hp ratio to start with. And for the record I don't believe either owner has claimed their new boat will hit 200 mph.
