Dont think it was the safety blankets bro.
They protect you and others from projectiles.
If memory serves me Chris from the other site
said it was mounts. We use the "Can" mounts.
The Halon surpressors I have are wired in series
with the fuel solenoids as well as the laynards.
The halon system is located forward of the exhaust.
If they deploy it cuts fuel.
C,mon Keith Lets have Peter build us a new Carbon/ Kevlar
46 have Jim build some 703,s run some BPM,s Zeigart
shafts throw on some 5 axis props and go racing.
C,mon up here I will take you and your kid for a ride
then decide.

I built a engine for Al Copeland ant the time of his death and what I remember about those boats that burt was that the exhaust was not properly installed and broke while running alowing the hot exhuast to burnt right on the hull causing the fire. Also I think one of those boats was running T58s.
Can you get insurance on a turbine powerboat??

I wonder what they are using for gear reduction on the 55,s
They do not have the built in reduction that the 53,s have.
I wish them the best in there attempt for the propeller
driven record.
