I like the way the jet's exhaust is redirected straight thru the transom/deck -

Dino, You getting ready to dial in the boat? You have to give Jeff @ JC Performance a call. He has all the props you need, and can help with the dial in. I'm dying to see that thing really run.

any news, I am helping gerry while he is designing his boat to run with out water = no more hoses to break at high speeds no water pick ups, we got one side done to see if we can cool with air if it works theres a lot of weight savings no coolers, sea strainers, no pick ups = more speed. it sux when a water fitting or hose breaks going over a 100 by the time you slow down you got 20 gals of water in the bilge
. I am sure there will be posts on turbine 101 if it works out
. but boy it would be cool to see this y2k run I WISH HE WENT WITH A Arneson drive I think he would have gotten a lot of R&R from rik or a Konrad if it would of fit into there power band. Ihope this boat gets dialed in this summer its a shame sitting. mine should out in 5 to 6 weeks we are getting the motor next week. about 1150hp konrad ace I think as long as I run it easy like my b1 and 650hp motor it will be fine and I will have a lower boost set up for reg boating thats cruising mostly at 3500 to 4500 rpm with family = 60 to 75.

Every boat takes time to dial in. This thing will take years. But worth it . JC should be pushing to get it done for the publicity. Who knows maybe this will lead to more boat building !!
