May 5th 2018 Turbine Warlock

I finally had a chance to pull the best clips from all of the different camera angles from the first test run of the Warlock Project. This project far exceeded my wildest expectation. What A Rush as you can see from the expressions on our face.

[@adamfrbs9259]

When you get turbine boat money....you laugh and you enjoy every damn minute of it.

Hey Fred, let’s tell the wives we’re going fishing next weekend again. And when they ask where the catch is, we’ll just say the water was to choppy again.

Hell of a ride

[@randyman8129]

Turbines have great power to weight ratio, just that 200 gph fuel consumption that gets you..Awesome machine! Thanks for the ride.

[@gcmsinc]

My max fuel consumption is only 120 gph but you cant do that kind of power for only a few seconds. Average consumption is about 60 gph.

[@randyman8129]

Not bad, thank you for the info! Enjoy sir.

[@blyndrotor]

Offset by the fact that power out of a piston engine, the turbine will last 5 times that of the length of time in engine longevity

@@gcmsinc 2 gal per minute is ONLY?

[@mikeanderson2730]

Off and on, off and on the throttle, why isnt the engine run on full? Is it running bad on full, inbalanced (turbine engine needs to have perfect balance) or not enough fuel to run true?

I wonder if people know that they can get a muffler for the turbine to get rid of the high pitch noise. And it's not that big.

[@02hreblue30]

cant believe they aren't wearing hearing protection.

[@jdog6236]

What a buzz luv it. What's its top speed and how fast from 0 to 60mph

[@gcmsinc]

1300hp, 1150 ftlb's of torque. 0-100 mph in 10 seconds, 40-100 in 4 seconds. My top speed has been 134 mph @ 52% torque load. The prop will run out of speed around 150 mph with a 26" prop.

[@jeffallen7923]

Silly question. If it's turbine power, is the prop always used. Turbines operate on thrust, not a physical output. Correct?? I'm missing the transition from thrust to prop, I think???

[@j.reddout]

@@jeffallen7923 This is a turboshaft engine. Similar to a jet but the power takeoff is not used to power a fan like a modern jet but instead a shaft which was originally coupled to a helicopter rotor, airplane propellor, electric generator or other low speed use like this boat propeller.

[@Zone_Stomper]

Seems like good enough.

[@robertcato1551]

Need a chase boat camera for a better visual reference on the speed.

[@garytull7730]

[@oldmountainmarineandmetals9736]

Although I hate boats after working on them for 45 plus years!

[@Crazystuffyousee]

As much as I think a turbine powered boat is frigging awesome... I dont think I'd enjoy having to listen to that high pitch whistle for very long.

[@gcmsinc]

The noise does get old but is offset by the thrill of the power.

[@micksta323]

I take it you're not married?

[@wspraggs]

If it sounds anything like the aircrafts the engine would have came from, it shouldn’t sound as high pitched as the video makes it out to be. Loud as hell though but the smell of burning jet fuel and the start ups must make it all worth the while

[@johnmichaelsaraceno7339]

The high pitch whine definitely bothered me...I could not listen to it at normal volume never mind being right next to it in the boat...at least gun range ear muffs for me

[@akane742]

What are all those belt drive accessories in the front of the turbine

[@gcmsinc]

Power steering pump and alternator.

[@timmorris3056]

Belt drive accessories.... Climate Control pump (just incase 200mph wind isn't cold enough) , Massage Seat heat pump (to ease the "Pucker Factor at 250mph), and Oxygen Generator for operations at or above Mach 2 !!! 😄😁😎

[@WarrenDJr]

Hydraulic pump for the arneson steering and trimming and possibly alternator though most turbines have then running off the pto shaft

[@eastwest1362]

[@brynstephens4624]

Great boat but can't see how she travels with the camera lens pointed at their grining faces😡

.......From the sound of it.....she has plenty of power to spare. I bet the structure of the boat couldn't handle 50% throttle ...even if it didn't try to fly first.

[@cnance1972]

Makes wakes and side winds scary!

[@augustofernandes7777]

This boat have 2 motors? How the propreler is activated? Awesome boat!!! Omg!

[@gcmsinc]

The prop is driven by the power turbine.

[@tolga1cool]

What a mad machine! What kind of turbine is that?

[@gcmsinc]

T53-L13 Lycoming Out of a Huey Helicopter.

[@patrickjohnson7801]

From the looks on your faces no one is going to ski behind this boat.

[@02hreblue30]

they do all the time in New Zealand. Watch the videos. Saw two of them at same time with 280 ft ropes skiing at 135mpg next to each other for miles. Incredible

[@JGizzardofOz]

Mind blowing thing being, this guy was basically idling at 50knts from the sound/look of it... the little blips of power he’d give it came no where even close to spooling this thing up to its true capabilities...So scary, I wonder if he’s ever just buried the throttle for a few seconds?! 🤔😳😬😬😬😬😬😛!!!!!!!

[@gcmsinc]

No longer than 6 seconds. Reached 134 mph in 6 seconds from 40 mph. Backed the throttle off to sustain 134 for 5 miles at 52% torque load.

Wow! Looked like you almost had a "Hot Start".

Where do you gather that thought from, the flames coming out of the exhaust pipe? If so that's intentional for show. Raw fuel dumped into the pipe and lit with streak fuel. "After Burner" for the lack of a better word. Show only.

1000+ HP on a 25ft tunnel hull with a surface drive?? Where will you be able to full-throttle that? Like, nowhere?? What a weapon..

[@gcmsinc]

I have had it at full throttle several times but no longer than 5 seconds or so. Top speed achieved has been 134 constant for about 5 miles at 52% load on the engine . The prop will theoretically run out of speed at around 148 mph. It's all about the acceleration. 0-100 in 10 seconds. 40-100 in 4 seconds. 25' 5000 pound dragster.

[@SteveWrightNZ]

@@gcmsinc Yeah full marks, thats inpressive. It'd be easy to come unstuck in that for sure, I bet no one but you drives it lol. I think a full-on raceboat wouldn't have that power-tow-weight ratio...

[@gcmsinc]

@@SteveWrightNZ you are correct. I am the only one that has ever driven it and there are only a handful of people I would trust to drive it who are very familure with driving a turbine powered boat.

[@jayveeadvincula2884]

Noisy boat.

[@Les__Mack]

At those speeds, I wouldn't rely on one clip to hold my life vest on. I'd use both clips and the zipper. Of course if you crash at those speeds, your life vest will do nothing more than keep your dead body from sinking.

[@zuestoots5176]

They make vests with drag chutes. They deploy when you get launched, slowing your arrival to the cold hard blue

[@Les__Mack]

@@zuestoots5176 Probably should be zipped up with the clips done if you are using one of those too. That sounds like a rough way to exit a boat!

Looks like a giant pain in the ass money pit... but a hella cool pain in the ass money pit!

Actually just the opposite. Over 4000 miles of high speed running and no service work to do on the engine. 2500 hours of operation before the first inspection. Not even a oil change required. Just wash the compressor every 50 hrs of operation in a fresh water environment or after every run in salt water. Very simple procedure like flushing you piston engine on a boat.
