Nice!! Make sure you get us some more pics when you get it in the boat

Sorry the engines I am useing are very hard to come by so I will not be selling, if you in the states the best idea is to souce some T53s

impressive set up

very cool rig!

That splitter box will have a tad of torque running thru it, and I would keep the lid closed in case it lets go...

Getting a single prop to bite to get on plane with a pitch descent enough for good top end might prove challenging pushing a Scarab and the fuel you need to turn that monster.

The Gentry Eagle is setup with a monster single Arneson Drive behind an even more grotesque Turbine but it has twin diesel jet-drive to help get on plane and some serious weight and length to offset the torque.

On a Kevlar Scarab 38 however even if you get on plane in a single drive configuration, taking into account the torque I would run tabs the size of Scotland behind it to feel safe. 1600hp is not a ton but your boat will be very lite compared to a classic boat, you won't have the big block's weight in the rear end weighting it down.

Just expressing common sense in my eyes I am by far no expert.

Sweet set up!

I think you will need to put some mounts on that splitter box to stop "flexing" and keep drive shaft alignment proper. What kind of reduction are you running?

Wannabe

That turbine only turns 6400 rpm at 100% ?

Says "output shaft" might be reduced before the output shaft.
