A fairly serious attempt of something radical. I'm thinking you could freak a few people out at the boat launch. Any pictures out there of it running?
This may be OT, but *ANY* boater needs to see this!
There is a user on the v-drive forum, by the name of GasTurbine.
He has a freakin' jet motor stuffed in a 20' skiboat!!
It is soooooo wild! Go to http://home.columbus.rr.com/n8wct/ to see it!
You won't believe your eyes...

Roger Weiman, who built the hull, had some pictures of this thing running, so I think there must be some more shots floating around somewhere.
I think these guys built one of these hooked up to a pump too.
Now that I think about it, the pictures I saw might have been the pump version.
Where do you hook the ski rope?? http://free.***boat.net/ubb/biggrin.gif
Way F`n Cool! Dare to be different! It seems that turbines are the wave of the future. The wear factor, hp to weight ratio, and RPM`s are what seems to be the "thing" with these. I`d love to learn about these motors, ie school? These things have to be verymaticulous with fuel and pressures I`d think. It doesn`t seem to be a shade tree mill. How do you get one, gov`t auctions? Every one I`ve been to sells garbage.
KICK A** need running video of this water ROCKET hell sell tickets where do you live?Not enough room in the drivers seat though.
