All of the Hydraulic, Oil and Fuel lines are run under the deck with SS 316 tubing with JIC fittings welded on each end.

Time to build the engine mounts and exhaust.

Fuel Tanks are built, polished and ready to install after the engine mounts are finished and test fitted.
All that polishing was a *****!!!!!!!! Don and his helper at Miracle Strip Welding & Marine Service done a outstanding job on custom fitting and fabricating the tanks.

Engine mounts are built, polished and installed.
Now to get all the plumbing finished, build the driveshaft guard and exhaust and she will be ready to launch.

unbelievable job your doing !

all your previous pictures do not show up anymore, add reposting them to
the list before you go in the water.

just got in and had dinner, kinda befuttled how this thread went all day w/o a response.
the guys up north are all snowed in so what else could they be doing ?

I am not sure what happened to all the pics. They were posted from my FB URL location and that hasn't changed.

A lot of folks don't know that you can load pics again, which when everyone's hard work of resto projects went down the toilet many folks took their toys and went home.

Amazing project!

First test run for the Turbine Warlock after over a year in the build.
This is raw footage from the GoPro Hat Cam.
On the first engine startup I had to abort because I forgot to turn the lift pump on and the engine wasn't going to reach 48% to stay self sustained so I just shut it down and re-started. Learning curve!
As you can see it was cruising at 40 to 50 mph at 1/3 throttle. I couldn't stay at 100% torque for more than 2 seconds without going over 100 mph. This thing is just stupid quick!!!! Going to have to build a SS transom wrap around the exhaust to keep the water from blowing over the transom in reverse. Kinda already figured that into the equation. Thanks Steve for trusting me not to kill us on this first run. Give me a little more time to make sure its going to hold together and I'll start testing the limits.

WOW!
