TTT Can't believe a turbine with 8 hrs on it has not sold.

I have loved this boat ever since it was in an old Hot Boat magazine.....

What is the story on it? Size motors-how fast??? Are these things hard to start?

Something about the older MTI's that I really like.

beautiful boat, but cant see why someone would skimp out on accessory switches when building a boat in that price range

Tough to insure a turbine I'd imagine as well

T53s are like 1400-1500hp? Why did you detune it? Any advantage to that?

I like a race canopy on a boat that will run that fast. Those Buzzi Trimax drives are bulletproof and much lighter than Arnesons and BPMs.
