Insane 3000HP Twin Turbine 46' Skater Boat "Hellfire" Debuts in Lake Havasu

The 46' flame throwing twin jet turbine "Hellfire" Skater powerboat hits the waters of Lake Havasu City, AZ! This speed boat is one of a kind and has customization's from the ground up. The owner also has a matching custom painted Euro-copter EC130 Helicopter. The pair is truly a show stopper... The boat is currently rigged with twin turbine engines producing thousands of horsepower with Mercury Racing #6 drives and Herring props. The hull is carbon laid and capable of speeds over 200mph.

Pulling the cat out into the sunlight at the beginning shows what a piece of art those boats are and the views at the end 7:22 are awesome. Thank you so much you didn't pollute the video with any music. Cheers! 🍻

Nothing like a peaceful calm day on the water. I hope everyone else enjoys the incredible sound of my engines as much as I do.

[@kilojeromesmith4488]

That boat will be still in style in 30 years. Beautiful!!

[@tonyhill5418]

Those boats have been in style since the 70s but they exploded in the 80s when Miami Vice came out.

[@BiggHogg870]

Haha doubt it. The way the world is going it'll be scrapped for an electric boat in 10 years. We're killing the planet apparently 🤷🏾‍♂️🤦🏾‍♂️

[@robertlantz2206]

I miss living in Lake Havasu, and this is just one of the many treasures you'll find there. Beautiful boat on a great lake.

[@Ocean_breezes]

A boat with aircraft turbines in it? Incredible engineering and a work of art Reminds of the Indy 500 and Andy Granatelli had the STP Turbine powered racecar.. It led the entire race until a $ 5 bearing went out. Always been a fan of Turbines. Awesome sound also. The helo and piston chase boat added a nice touch

[@phillipgraves4721]

Remarkably stable at those high speeds

[@MegaSling]

That chase boat sounded bad ass on that WFO pass towards the end of the video.

That was Predator 1 (also a Skater). Predator 3 just ran 204 MPH in a recent shootout.

[@dgordon130]

I'm not a boat guy but I am an engine and engineering guy and holy cow this thing is just insane. Love it and hearing it go is a privilege. Seeing the end of the video with what I believe is an ICE engine in comparison with it was just smashing. Church music the whole thing. My hat's off to the owner for having the muscle to get this done in all the ways they have. Just ace. :-)

[@reidgeisler3588]

There's nothing in the video that's not ICE, but the thought is appreciated.

@@reidgeisler3588 I believe he meant the piston powered boat that he was cruising beside for a while. Yes, technically a turbine engine is an ICE engine!😁

I was a groomsman in the wedding of the daughter of one of the people involved in the reassembly of the London bridge that took place under the bridge on the one side back in 1980. Seeing that lake again brings back memories. What an amazing boat. How fast can it go on that smooth water?

[@AdventuringwiththeS.G.O.C.C]

WoW ! I did not think anyone would try to emulate the Skater twin turbine Howard Arneson did 25 years ago. Well done. He also invented the "Arneson surface drive" Much more efficiant way or propulsion IMHO. Arneson also set the speed record for the "Missippi river challenge" from New orleans to St Lois in river traffic and beat his transportation vehicle by 10-hourse (it left the night before) and that was in his original single turbine engine w/Arneson surface drive in a 35' cat

Hell yea man, grew up drag racing watching too fuelers and I spent almost every holiday weekend at the lake of the ozarks growing up I always loved these crazy fast boats. I remember when Qatar took there twin turbine 244mph at the ozarks. So cool y'all I love and respect the attention to detail and you can have riders so comfortable in padded race seats. Very very cool super boat sorry I'm not sure what you call something so show quality yet plenty of seats and such power. Maybe someday I can see one up close and get some pics.
