Even if 4 new turbine mystic teams appeared tomorrow, it would still be a while before any really became a threat to Gieco, simply because of the testing, r&d, setup knowledge they have aquired over the last couple of years not to mention the seat time Mongo and Precious have in a turbine at speed. I think Marc is more comfortable running 180 in the boat than he is buying a slurpee at speedway....

On a given day skill can beat knowledge or knowledge can beat skill... when you have both...

Don't get me wrong, I would love to see JBS or anyone out there push them hard and make them actually have to run the boat. They aren't unbeatable, but your going to have to do your homework and eat your wheaties.

You know what? Sometimes your posts are so articulate you blow my mind.
Now if you only had a paid membership and posted 300 pics from St. Claire, the world would be round.:drink:

Who is the alternative turbine builder.
I thought Turbine Marine were the only Marine based turbine supplier on the market?
