anyone have any experiance with turbines in a boat. i have the oportunity to purchase a t-53 turbin with time expired for air travel, but still in good shape with 500 to 1000 hrs before needing rebuild. it is a turboshaft 1350hp motor with gear reduction box with a max 6000 rpm/1350hp. it weighs 1/2 of a same hp bbc. i think it would be a fun project. i would like to find a 26-30' cat hull, in any condition to build this project. if anyone has any info, or input i would love to hear it.
