Guys this was just so awesome to see and it's absolutely made my day seeing the enjoyment of you both 😊 hahahaha just a beast of a boat and god the driveline in that boat is the cream puff of them all , so neat and tidy 🎉
Hey Fred, let’s tell the wives we’re going fishing next weekend again. And when they ask where the catch is, we’ll just say the water was to choppy again.
If it sounds anything like the aircrafts the engine would have came from, it shouldn’t sound as high pitched as the video makes it out to be. Loud as hell though but the smell of burning jet fuel and the start ups must make it all worth the while
The high pitch whine definitely bothered me...I could not listen to it at normal volume never mind being right next to it in the boat...at least gun range ear muffs for me
they do all the time in New Zealand. Watch the videos. Saw two of them at same time with 280 ft ropes skiing at 135mpg next to each other for miles. Incredible

.......From the sound of it.....she has plenty of power to spare. I bet the structure of the boat couldn't handle 50% throttle ...even if it didn't try to fly first.
Off and on, off and on the throttle, why isnt the engine run on full? Is it running bad on full, inbalanced (turbine engine needs to have perfect balance) or not enough fuel to run true?
Where do you gather that thought from, the flames coming out of the exhaust pipe? If so that's intentional for show. Raw fuel dumped into the pipe and lit with streak fuel. "After Burner" for the lack of a better word. Show only.
@@gcmsinc Understand. Functionality over show is good with Turbines. But hey, what do I know. Sweet boat by the way. Just thought you might be careful with a very expensive piece of complex machinery. That's all. .
@@pilot3016 Yep, She's a good turbine. Never had a hot start on this one. She hits about 1150 F' max on startup. The key is to have good hot batteries to get it spooled up quick.

1300hp, 1150 ftlb's of torque. 0-100 mph in 10 seconds, 40-100 in 4 seconds. My top speed has been 134 mph @ 52% torque load. The prop will run out of speed around 150 mph with a 26" prop.
Silly question. If it's turbine power, is the prop always used. Turbines operate on thrust, not a physical output. Correct?? I'm missing the transition from thrust to prop, I think???
@@jeffallen7923 This is a turboshaft engine. Similar to a jet but the power takeoff is not used to power a fan like a modern jet but instead a shaft which was originally coupled to a helicopter rotor, airplane propellor, electric generator or other low speed use like this boat propeller.
Mind blowing thing being, this guy was basically idling at 50knts from the sound/look of it... the little blips of power he’d give it came no where even close to spooling this thing up to its true capabilities...So scary, I wonder if he’s ever just buried the throttle for a few seconds?! 🤔😳😬😬😬😬😬😛!!!!!!!
I have had it at full throttle several times but no longer than 5 seconds or so. Top speed achieved has been 134 constant for about 5 miles at 52% load on the engine .

At those speeds, I wouldn't rely on one clip to hold my life vest on. I'd use both clips and the zipper. Of course if you crash at those speeds, your life vest will do nothing more than keep your dead body from sinking.

What a cool project. I would think I could build this setup for about $50k plus my time. I just finished restoring a 1200hp twin stroker 28’ magnum deep v for $30k that’s got x2 new small blocks and this project looks easier at the end of the day imo.
Actually just the opposite. Over 4000 miles of high speed running and no service work to do on the engine. 2500 hours of operation before the first inspection. Not even a oil change required. Just wash the compressor every 50 hrs of operation in a fresh water environment or after every run in salt water. Very simple procedure like flushing you piston engine on a boat.
@@patrickrolf482 I here big internet numbers for speed until it comes to showing it on the water and for some reason posted numbers like 100+ seem to really be 70+ when the prop hits the water. I take this boat all over the country to run in speed events and fun run's. Your welcome to jump in and take a ride and I'll show you what it feels like to go from 40 mph to 130 mph in 6 seconds.

OMG Too Much Fun!! What an awesome boat...Good job man!
When you get turbine boat money....you laugh and you enjoy every damn minute of it.
Be nice to see a shot filmed from land to appreciate the speed. Great vid and great boat!

Literally smiles per miles after each pull. That thing rips!
Hey Fred, let’s tell the wives we’re going fishing next weekend again.
And when they ask where the catch is, we’ll just say the water was to choppy again.
Rule #1 !! NO HATS !!! NO LOOSE CLOTHING !!!! Ruin your day real fast ... I thought that hat was going right into that turbine !!! 😱😰nice snag !!
Make for one day of far up to wayyyyyyyyyy down real fast
Turbines have great power to weight ratio, just that 200 gph fuel consumption that gets you..Awesome machine! Thanks for the ride.
My max fuel consumption is only 120 gph but you cant do that kind of power for only a few seconds. Average consumption is about 60 gph.
Not bad, thank you for the info! Enjoy sir.
Offset by the fact that power out of a piston engine, the turbine will last 5 times that of the length of time in engine longevity
@@gcmsinc 2 gal per minute is ONLY?
Good info still thirsty tho@@gcmsinc
When I hit that 1.9 Billion tonight I'm getting one too!!
Fascinating to see a single arneson drive on a potato chip this size. Driver is quite talented.
And yep I'd be laughing too, just like Maverick said, I feel the need. . . and everyone knows the rest 🤣
Need a chase boat camera for a better visual reference on the speed.
More like a helicopter
I wonder if people know that they can get a muffler for the turbine to get rid of the high pitch noise. And it's not that big.
cant believe they aren't wearing hearing protection.
No rod holders for the fishing poles.. except for the large one in the back
How fast wll that boat go 130+ ? Very nice boat
That 53 ingesting that hat at high power would have been spectacular and expensive footage
Thats what the FOD screen is for.
This boat have 2 motors? How the propreler is activated? Awesome boat!!! Omg!
The prop is driven by the power turbine.
As much as I think a turbine powered boat is frigging awesome... I dont think I'd enjoy having to listen to that high pitch whistle for very long.
The noise does get old but is offset by the thrill of the power.
I take it you're not married?

Every thought about dropping a trolling motor over the side for in port maneuvering?
@Rusty Climber Save you from pulling it up. Could get expensive.
No...just no.
Awesome build sir. Sure gets on plane nicely! Now strap down all your loose items haha.
From the looks on your faces no one is going to ski behind this boat.

Had me at polished prop
What are all those belt drive accessories in the front of the turbine
Power steering pump and alternator.
Belt drive accessories....
Climate Control pump (just incase 200mph wind isn't cold enough) , Massage Seat heat pump (to ease the "Pucker Factor at 250mph), and Oxygen Generator for operations at or above Mach 2 !!! 😄😁😎
Hydraulic pump for the arneson steering and trimming and possibly alternator though most turbines have then running off the pto shaft
Although I hate boats after working on them for 45 plus years!
Wow.... which waterjet unit and which stepdown gearbox please ?

Scared to open her up!
what about a fod guard i thought that hat was going in the front of the turbine, and a fire extinguisher!
Look closer. There is a FOD Screen
No seatbelts or harnesses?
Great boat but can't see how she travels with the camera lens pointed at their grining faces😡
Does it run on K-1 kero or do you have to go to the airport to buy jet fuel?
I have a good resource for Jet-A
Hell of a ride
What a mad machine! What kind of turbine is that?
T53-L13 Lycoming Out of a Huey Helicopter.
Awesome 👌

They make vests with drag chutes. They deploy when you get launched, slowing your arrival to the cold hard blue
@@zuestoots5176 Probably should be zipped up with the clips done if you are using one of those too. That sounds like a rough way to exit a boat!
It's like the $1,400 carbon fiber motorcycle helmet I had...it's not for me...it was my open casket for ma helmet, I called it.
Your neck would break at those speeds and you would float dead.

Then a Tesla boat zips pass, at half volume, using a 12v lithium battery. lol.
@@babbalonian2 No.
That's no boat that's a fighter jet
im sure you probably test ed before, i where you will use some security gear helmet and body harness and and secure yourself in the seat
You never want to be secured to the seat in a open boat. Only a capsule boat with oxygen.
Strapping yourself into a boat? C’mon now...that’s not too bright 🤦♂️
Build a huge rooster tail and push it way back! Power and speed
