first class job you did on this, bet there are hundreds of little details no one would even notice or understand.
thumbs up on the flashing light !
keep the videos coming, specially looking aft (everybody likes business end videos)

edit in:
a pair of inert (but complete and functional in appearance) martin bakers in there would be awesome !
even if they weighed in at 100 a piece i don't think it would matter in terms of power to weight !

This is my second project of a over the top restoration and my first Turbine Powered project. The first project "Drag "N" Fever" was suppose to be a Turbine powered project but things just didn't work out that way but was still a work of art.
This project is a 2001 WARLOCK 25 SXC CAT that run a honest 85 MPH with a Mercury 500 HP Blue factory race engine and a Bravo drive with extension box and IMCO lower. It will now be powered with a T-53 Custom Turbine Engine from Jim Grasham of Principal Propulsion Systems, "PPS", Driving a Custom Arneson ASD-8 through a SCS gear box.

Photos to come. The system will not let me post until I have made 10 posts.
Well by the looks of the video the 0-100 in 10 seconds wasn't a problem. Great Great job.

This thread is everything that I love about boats and OSO. Amazing. That's a mighty big rooster tail for that throttle lever barely being moved forward.

Here is a link to some drone footage from the first day out.


For some reason when I post the link it is removed so go to my FB page "John Hice" and the drone video is there.

Check the Facebook out, it's amazing!
That thing just leaps forward under a bit of throttle. You might need a faster drone.......

I finally had a chance to pull the best clips from all of the different camera angles from the first test run of the Warlock Project. This project far exceeded my wildest expectation. What A Rush as you can see from the expressions on our face.

Great build! Love it!

I often wonder why people put so much money into high powered piston engines when a turbine has a MUCH greater life expectancy.
