Turbine Marine. :lolhit:

Make sure you relocate the starters to the top of the motors...Are you going with water-jacketed exhaust? Dry exhaust is a fire hazard on turbine boats, plus your insurance will be astronomical.

BTW welcome to OSO! :bigbird: You will not regret(at least I hope you won't) that boat. Awesome rough water cats. If you don't mind my asking, what is your projected budget for the build?(Don't worry it won't be enough lol)

Thanks for the welcome.. i agree water jaceted is a must. as far as insurance goes I am in VA. i have a car dealership and have added motorcyle sales in the past.. i will add boat dealer as well .Raise my dealership coverage some and blanket the boat.. also no properety tax.. it will be in inventory and for sale.. after all isnt everthing for sale for the right price anyway..as far as budget if i can keep all the work in house under 100k.i know good luck with that...lol..

You might call Jeff Stevenson of JBS Racing. He's trying to sell his Mystic and might part it out. He's got BPMs not Arnesons but they should work on your boat.

Just curious have you put a straight edge to the bottom yet?

do you happen to know what BPM,s should cost ,,new used,, was not going to do a rudder but plans change..
