Re: 1400 HP Turbine Y2K Rocketship in the works !!!
It's official !!! JC recieved the deposit today. Turbine by next spring.
Pat,
the exhaust will come out the rear of the engine hatch ( a new 8' one will be fabricated ). And I believe the swim platform can stay on, since the notch in the transom will be filled.
Jc seems to think that the other choice, a T53, which is only 4' long, and also 1400 HP, would make a nice package. Literally no modifications to the hull or deck. All that would be needed is a new engine hatch.

Tom,
This boat will also have saddle tanks in the engine compartment. Bringing alittle more weight back.

Erick says yes. Check out his site. This T53 was for his 33 Fountain.
