It sounds awesome taking off. Just like a military jet on takeoff. I had some guys down who hadn't seen or heard of a turbine boat, and they were literally in awe.

I have had the pleasure of being on one.

Have been on Statements old turbine cat a few times and ran in it in the Texas Outlaw shootout. Love them a LOT, just had never seen that Eliminator before and I like it!

That boat was displayed at the 2007(? could have been 2008) Miami boat show. It looks like the boat anyway. 28', single motor if I remember right. It was the last time I saw my friend Jim Foley who was in the west coast boat biz for decades. Jim and I got to know each other when he was with SleekCraft and I was their dealer in Illinois. He worked with Eliminator until he died. He was a great guy. Anyway, on topic, its a very cool boat

Any pics of "pure evil"?

That boat is stunning. Is it still trying to run those 1500/1600 HP motors these days?

Very nice vid. What's the name of that mash-up song? I need to add that to my boating playlist.

^^^ recognized one of the mash ups- DJ Schmoli (sp?) Cruelly Good Summer Feeling
