Looook-in good Gerry ! how u-doin, seen Ken, hows the inventory, H20 that is ? When's the tub gettin wet ? :cool-smiley-011:

OK we've been patient long enough:D We need updates

Goin out today?

yeah i second that

and pictures/vid too....

Ok Guys What the Heck was I thinking!:D


























All I can say is it is incredible. You can not reach out to the dash when pushing the sticks Slightly forward.

For those who have been in a Turbine boat you understand.
When leaving the dock you are overwhelmed by the whine
and smell of Kero. You glance at all the gauges not even
knowing what the hell your looking at. You start by pushing the throttles forward slowly the Tachs climb to about 70%
and unlike a piston boat ur still sitting there then the big tub
starts to move. You push the stick a little further and now the scream becomes a woosh and ur on plane. The 38 Herrings
are now just begging for some water to hurl. At somewhere
around 50 mph I push the sticks about another inch The rooster is amazing and the Turbines change there tone as the
Bleed ban closes your at 89mph in three seconds from 50mph
Your looking at the torque gauge at 35psi which is about half
throttle.. You now realize this boats gonna fly. You forget for a second that you have no clue at what your doing and decide
you should stop and open the hatches to find all the mistakes you made.:hitfan:

Minor issues like Pyro wire sticking to the exhaust and melting.
Lost one brake cause of a cotter pin.
CV joint blew a boot. Splatterin grease everywhere.

All in All it was Good day.

Stay tuned for Pictures and of course video!

Have you wiped the smile off your face yet?

Minor stuff. Get her fixed and back in the water.

I am concerned about the CV joint and drive shaft. Did you feel any vibration?

Gerry great to hear you got in the water. So does that mean you in for the 1st run of season with us? I am going to wash and wax this weekend and be ready for next, Give me a call some time have a quick couple of questions for you and setting my "Piston Engine" to spec. I know your to cool for those now and all.

3 degrees is max on the CV. I,m going to take the curse off that one by moving the engine inbound about a 1/2 inch.

I was so tempted to smash the throttles to the pegs. Knowing the cv had no more grease in her held me back and the fact that my balls were the size of grapenuts cuz I was so nervous.:D

No way Mike never to cool. (Just Graduated from them):D

Pm me ur # I will do my best!
