Hell I think if anything turbines would be less hassle than conventional power! A little more expensive but if your going to spend that kind of $$$$$$$ whats a little more for some resilliant power. Not to mention they make you go real fast. In my world I call that Pleasure!

I explained my statement in the next few lines, in my sole opinion a turbine boat is not a "pleasure" boat. My family owns two Bell Jet ranger Hellicopters with turbines, they are loud, consume specialized fuel. Their is nothing pleasure about it other than landing on the top of the boat house. But hey it's all good, you are free to disagree. My point was I feel a better marketing strategy would be

umm turbines in helicopters are different than turbines in the boat. Well the same without all the FAA rules.. Someone will correct me if i am wrong..but most turbines in boats run on diesel. diesel is at most places now.
Also turbine marine said they have the exhaust noise down as well.

Correct, they are multi fuel engines. The reason aircraft require specialized fuel is because . . . . well. . . . their aircraft. In the manine application they can run just about anything that will burn including diesel and kerosene. The Skater Hellfire frequents one of the islands i go to and yes the noise is WAY down. Actually quieter then anything i have lol

Isnt Jet A just a highly refined kerosene anyway?

I believe Turbine Marine recommends a mixture of 75% jet A or kerosene with 25% 93 octane gasoline.
