Aqua-Mania Turbine MTI: Startup

Pride of the 1,000 Islands, the insanely cool & powerful Aqua-Mania race boat starts up in Clayton, NY for the 2023 1,000 Islands International Charity Poker Run. This newest iteration is an MTI powered by turbine engines.

Start a turbine, everyone notices,... except that one person on the pier in the background who had phone up to record, waiting for the moment :)

That one guy is one of the two owners of the boat.

The impact of losing Gregg Rosen to a boating accident on September 2, 2023 will be felt for many years. Speed on the Water: "Rosen, who owns Kimco Steel Sales, Ltd. in Kingston, Ontario, and is well known in the performance boat community thanks to the Aqua-Mania G3 Racing team he co-owned with Rick Merola of the New York-based full-service marine dealership, was a fun-loving gentleman who attended many poker runs up and down his home waterway as well as around the country. In fact, he was the largest financial supporter of the popular 1,000 Islands Charity Poker Run in Clayton, N.Y., according to one of the event’s organizers, Ken Lalonde." www.speedonthewater.com/boating-community-mourns-the-passing-of-canadian-treasure-rosen/

Atomic batteries to power turbines to speed

Sheesh……….. why do they tie the damn bumpers on with 200 feet of rope? Wouldn’t 10 feet of rope be sufficient? Watch that trying to untie the rear bumper and he was having a hell of time getting it off.

But.....but.....the carbon emissions.

Definitely less obnoxious than the diarrhea idle of V8s.
