Well I did read every page. All that talk about pistons then BOOM seven months later you've got turbines. What happened, why did you all of a sudden rip the piston motors out and put the turbines in??

Don't get me wrong...I KNOW you made the right decision...but you could have sent the boat to Turbine Marine in the beginning and saved a LOT of trouble. I know Arruda's not cheap, but he is arguably the best turbine man in the business. He has reconfigured almost every system of the Lycoming for Marine use. Just one question Gerry; are the starters on top or the bottom of the engines?
