anybody here who has turbine engined boat?
i am wondering too much about turbine engines and planning to have a turbine powered boat for future but i dont know too much about them.actually i know nothing about them except
''turbine engines are much lighter and powerful ''
what are the disadvantages of them?
are they hard to maintain?
is it hard to find parts?
can i find used engine+drive complete system?if yes what would be the app. price ?
it would be very nice to hear any idea or experience .
thnx in advance...

I've been on one but never saw the engine bay. I know Howard Arneson is one of the men that can install these properly.
The engines are maintained as per FAA guidlines and time frames. The gearbox, drives and props take the abuse.

Best setup would be T53/T58 turbine to a Super Cyborg transmission to a #6. Turbines would cost you approx. 80k marinized w/ approx. 1500hp on diesel/kerosene. It's a hot section aft turbine so exhaust is not a problem...water-jacket like any other.
There are many configurations (i.e. shaft drives, crashboxes, etc) but this one is very practical. Considsiderably lighter than a blown engine of comparable power and very reliable...the turbine will outlast all other drive components. This would be a powerplant you could run all season w/o problems.
Contact John Cosker at Marine Performance if you're serious. He can be PM'd here at "Marine Performance". He rigged/maintains the Callan turbine boats.
