pardon the 20 year old coded website but guy has T58 turbine 1370 shaft hp powering a jet pump drive on an alum hulled boat.

Also has a 3 piece billet bowl for the jet pump drive

This guy, Mark Nye has all kinds of rather far out turbine concepts he's built. Builds a lot of custom one-off parts for others involved in more DIY turbine projects.

I remember seeing a turbine powered hull at the sand bar. Nothing fancy... Like an old DiMarco hull with a used helicopter motor stuck in it. Very home craft looking. He said he started it on Kerosene, then switched over to a cheaper fuel to run it. But he had to make sure he switched back to the AV Gas before he shut it down or it was a bitch to restart. Very interesting. Sounded crazy.

100 duh

100 duh

At least........

I bet it goes fast on the lake, probably goes even faster up river and then even faster again down river.

Last numbers I saw was north of 150

I had seen a vid of a similar boat running a river at well over 140. And he was doing it for miles !,!

And even faster yet on a treadmill

What new build. I though he gave up and sold his rig

Nobody ever gives up on jet botes
