Imagine this. Jetset comes to a narrow opening (railroad bridge in Point Pleasant) with the current pushing him through. His turbines are direct drive, no neutral. To go in reverse, he shuts off the turbines while lowering the 40hp water jet outboard. Then using a center console mounted joystick, he steers the OB while using the typical OB throttle mounted to his right. (And this little OB barely moves this hull)
Once the bridge opens up he shuts off and lifts the OB, fires up the turbines and off he goes.
And the button that dumps the fuel into the exhaust is marked "SHOWTIME".

Gotcha. I think it sounds pretty good, wonder how it is after a few hours?
I remember being somewhat suprised how quiet it was when I heard my first turbine run last year.
This boat has been around a while and is somewhat of an first generation setup correct?
