That could have gotten ugly quick when the deck hand decided to run to the back and push off the dock and the driver puts it in gear!

A real Jet Bote! 😎

I wonder how loud it is while cruising vs running hard

When you roll in with your 38 MTI with FIVE 450 r and no one cares. Beejeebus. Guy in the aircraft business I suppose.
How do they engage the drives? Brake on the output shaft? There was a Shiada turbine back in the day that had a giant disc with 2 calipers at the v drive to slow it down.

That is a damn nice boat...actually, a few of them. A turbine boat just has a certain cool factor though.

Yes, the sound you hear is the slowing of the N2 (I think) so he can shift.

Yes, 170 is tame. The 46 is still one of the best running hulls in the line up. It was built to run 4 engines, but ended up running just as good with 2. That's why I said in an earlier post, I would take Lick This any day of the week with some new Merc 1350's. The just dominate water. Made my 40 look like a toy.

Love that video, don't regret watching in its entirety.

Are these guys wearing low profile hearing protection?

And did I hear a high pitched thruster sound to navigate tight areas around docks? Looked like that stern pushed out from a source other than typical main props....

All the fancy Mats, and fenders, etc, and your ding dong buddy wearing his new balance dad shoes walking all over the boat.
