i have had bottoms come apart, drives fail, and crash boxes, all fail at speed not turning...loosing a crash box at 140 is nuts...jeff really saved the day on that one. i just think if were in an open pleasure cat we would have been ejected and part of history.

put a turbine in and come on out! just think, you don't even have to flush the engines after let alone pull them for fresh ones!

when you run in salt water you better be washing those turbines, or you will have some serious issues in the future.

we have no water pick ups! the new air intakes separate the water and we have fresh water injection real time for a bump in power or just to clean it out after.

everyone really has to thank geico and turbine marine for working out a lot of the obstacles running turbines in a salt water marine environment.
