3700HP TURBINE BOAT STARTUP! LOUD

[@keithpeacock9282]

Howard Arneson had a 46 Skater with a 4500hp Lycoming turbine that did 190+ in 2011 and he was 90yrs old

Yes! That boat was/is beautiful and FAST! Big respect to Howard 💪

[@fredlamprey8824]

The delta is not the same without Howard. Was at the Big Cat Poker Run on Saturday. Was hoping his Skater might be there.

[@millenniumotors]

hard too keep up with turbines! make sure you watch that wet exhaust! looks like it had a really nice makeover!

[@BCB-Boats-Media]

Yes indeed!

[@remkojerphanion4686]

"Houston, we are ready for take off...."

[@BCB-Boats-Media]

Exactly! It was so awesome to see in person. Wow.

[@SuperAimboy]

Den gör inte 150 knop, mycket snick snack fortfarande,

[@BCB-Boats-Media]

I picked that top-speed from their (MissTurbineRacing) Instagram. So its not 100% fact but thats my source :) Do you have better specs?

[@oscarrothzen7534]

Så mycket snick snack är de inte. Till i år sitter de M8 drev på och andra propellrar och dom körde 145 knop på vättern och de fanns mer å ge....

[@BCB-Boats-Media]

@@oscarrothzen7534 Really? Wow! Last time I saw this boat (many years ago) it had older Merc drives. M8 + those turbines must be perfect setup! Thanks Oscar for info!

[@KarILsson]

Pretty awesome and fast boat....But not the fastest in the world :)

[@BCB-Boats-Media]

Actually Missturbine was many years ago in Stockholm boat show and that is were it was said to be The fastest open boat in the world at that time :) But yes not near fastest atleast nowadays. And yes! Awesome boat 👍

[@KarILsson]

Could be correct its fastest in a specific category of boats \m/. Fastest is Spirit of Australia a turbine powerd hydroplane that holds the world record of 275.98 knots and reach a peak speed of 300 knots back in 1978 record still stands today but its a purpose built one of a kind speed record boat only able to run in calm waters :)

[@BCB-Boats-Media]

@@KarILsson Yes! I have wondered when someone is going to break that old record. And yes I think that "boat" is not good in offshore conditions :D

[@KarILsson]

Dont think many would try break it its to dangerous Ken Warby is the only one who have gone over 300mph and survived(if im correct), but Ken and his son David is gona try break the record in their new boat Spirit of Australia II, last i heard they had gone 163,4 knots but going faster and faster every test they have safty high so nothing you rush to attempt break the record :) back in 1978 Ken did not even use a seat belt :O ....gona be interesting see if they gona break the record...

[@BCB-Boats-Media]

@@KarILsson Yes very interesting! Thanks for Info 👍👍
