Jason Smith stated that the problem with turbines is that they burn as much at idle as under load..... with the 1000-2000 hour lifespan before major service in a marine environment you can stand on them so much more than pistons.. In the Miss Geico - project X forum... Miss Geico sold their big motors ( T55 @ 4500hp - 5.4 GPM of Jet A) to the My Way Mystic.
Dyno report for the T55 is post 1 in the forum

There is nothing about boating that is affordable. Turbine power pushes the justification envelope, but they're so unique to most, especially in a boat they score major cool points that outweigh the extreme cost factor.....as far as the ego is concerned.

Come by the #19 houseboat (1st dock closest to the main water) dock in KC if you're out that way. I'll buy you a beer.
Boat's name is "Y-Knot"
