Quite –I’m confident your objective view of the material risks does not provide you with an automatic admission to the ‘liberal media’ club…
On other matters, rather than rudely interrupt the discussion here, I’ll post on the steps discussion elsewhere.
I suspect we will probably agree on more than you think.

Turbines like to be at 41,000 ft in clean air, running at a constant speed and ITT (inlet turbine temp). Not in a boat getting hammered on in corrosive salt water. Thats when fatigue kicks in and things go boom!!

Like I said in the deleted thread. Look at the Abrams tank and the environment it operates in. Dirt, dust, water, hot, cold and constant throttle position changes. moving 63 plus tons at speed with an AGT1500.

I've watched these guy's design through a lot of technology.... Docking issues, Baer (brakes) bolted to the Stearn drives... In early 2003 Callahan ran 203 at the Ozarks. (the year that HTM got wadded up!!) They're are a lot more guys running these set ups then 10 years ago when Mystic was slinging these boats at a WOPPIN 1 boat a year. Hardly a mere oversight on the technical side (i think). They've come a long way!

Also... (not trying to start an arguement but) I think the 41K' level is closer to the ceiling then at sea level where the air is nice and thick!

Correct, neither is the current 56' boat that was Al's last boat.

These guy's are really cleaver in their innovations trying to find an appropriate set up that's both safe and reliable.
......And pissed away a serious amount of money; R and D ing their ideas over the past 10-15 years.
