They started building this boat in 2001 or 2002 i think
It was Don Jenkins project for many years till they finaly finished it As Terry said the biggest power for a BTwas a twin turbine called "The Turbinator" Terry can tell you how fast that boat was he certianly knows the most about those boats from back then |

Cool boat :eek: ; did you ever put it in the water?
I enjoyed the stares and crowds the most. No one on my lake had ever seen a boat like that and they wanted to know who built it(Art Carlson) and what motor(540ci/600hp Ford). Bravo1 drive Latham full hydraulic twin ram steering. The engine hatch was an incredible feat of craftsmanship. I had 10 pages of drawings and mathematics on the hatch alone. |
Deja vu?
Is it me or does the helm seating look like a throwback to an 80s Donzi?:eek:

It was a boat he wanted. I ususally just nodded when he would show it to me and then I would change the subject. |

Assuming the speeds quoted from the 700 & 850 boats, this one should run comfortably over 100 it sounds like. The comment Terry posted about "The Turbinator" being a handful at 105, makes me wonder if this 1200 boat will have the same ride? Have they made any bottom changes since the Turbinator was built, that could have cured any potential handling issues for the 1200 boat? btw: I think "The Turbinator" is probably the best name I've ever heard for a powerboat with turbines. THAT, is a classic http://smiliesftw.com/x/bowrofl.gif |
