I'll take mine in orange & white...:yes:

Absolutely insane!!!

Price tag of $1 million plus I am sure....The out drives are probably $30k a pop!

Here is one of the older boats we had - 55 foot, 40,000 lb V-hull, twin Lycoming T55 -L11 turbines. 130 mph. 12 gallons per minute. Not the most fuel efficient, but loads of fun.

That is a gorgeous boat... I think you already have the record because it is doing 250 just sitting there ! I live by a guy named Howard Arneson and old Howard used to take me out in his 36 ft skater about 20 years ago . It had some TP 70 jet helicopter turbin in it and he would cruise that boat at a buck thirty five all day long like it was nothing.... I have never been in his bigger boat but I hear that will do the same but at around a 160mph...the guy is like 85 now and is the inventor of the surface prop and pool sweep.... very smart man

I used to build a lot of speedmasters for a lot of the offshore boats at lake X in Florida and a lot of on water testing we did their. Nice boat what name is going on that one?

Howard is THE man. Glad he took you for a ride. Very cool. He is the one responsible for this type of stuff. His turbine Skater was the first. A 36 ft, the 40 ft, etc. Surface drives with turbines,etc. Here is a pic of two of his ASD-12 drives on the back of the boat from the above post.

It is called the Callan 55. The new version is by the same designer (Mystic Powerboats) and is called the C62/M6000.

Lake X is a fun place. Did some prop testing there on a turbine boat. A couple of the Merc guys came unglued when they found we had spun their lab finished props as high as 10,000 rpm when they are rated for less than half of that. Very funny faces.

Wow, killer stuff!! I bet that thing sounds wicked at WOT.

i look forward to seeing it at the shootout in 2 weeks .
