1400 HP Turbine Y2K Rocketship in the works !!!
 

About 3 months ago, a friend of mine who does turbine conversions contacted me. Wanted to know if I could build a Y2K with a 6' long engine compartment, to accommodate a 1200 HP turbine. This Y2K would be for a wealthy customer of his. I went over it with Bob, and we agreed it was feasible. JC originally said no. But I talked him into it.
Erick, the turbine guy had 3 boats in mind. A Kryptonite, a Activator 29, or a Y2K. The Y2K was the winner.
Now...........Instead of a 1200 HP Turbine, the guy has a 1400 HP Turbine, with a zero effort tranny, and a Sage # 8 drive.
Don't even ask me how fast it's gonna go. I have nooooo idea. It's going to be one sick machine. Who knows.... maybe it'll get into Extreme Boating Magazine.
I was thinking around 125 mph with the 1200. I can't even think of what a 1400 hp will do.
