Yep...... http://www.smh.com.au/nsw/strange-be...515-zrdh7.html

Along with $155 million in illicit drugs, detectives from Strike Force Taipan have also sezied almost $2.3 million in assets - including an $800,000 high-performance speedboat from Northmead in Sydney's north-west.

Dave Wesseldyk had it in his shop a couple years ago when he was building my motors. What a beast!

A Swedish friend of mine used to own Miss Turbine a 50 Nortech, and had it here in Miami for service. I got to go for a ride in it and it ran 145 with the wrong props on it. Don't know if that is good or bad for a boat that size.

Depends the turbines and the power they make.

I would say it is good either way thought. Nothing like riding in a big turbine boat.

That is good then if you ask me.

I have been in Statements turbine and it is a 53 boat and during the outlaw shootout I was on board and we hit 173mph and the boat was propped right and ready to run.
