Just got the air intake from Fibre-werx in Sylvan Lake They do great work, Gave them a drawing of what we wanted and they had the mold made and three cranked out for us like that. Anybody needing fibreglass work/repair done these guy's are GOOD!
Anyway the first turbine is almost wired up and plumbed, tanks are fabbed and ready for paint.

The first run should be on Sylvan Lake about 20:00 hrs on a nice calm night. That ought to freak out the masses.

fuel consumption is approx 25% more than an unlimited gas engine 65-70 for the gas 90-95 for the turbine ,factor in about 10% faster speed its not a lot more The boats will have 2-45 gal tanks Hear is another nice fact wholesale jetA price approx 1.00 per litre 410$ per hour wide open. unlimited gas using c-14 last time I checked 295 liters x 3.05=900.55 per hour

Pretty close to being wrapped up on this one, then Johns should be done for the following week.
The cover over the turbine is to streamline it a bit and there will be a stainlees wire mesh over each intake opening.
These boats look FANTASTIC They will both be at the Peace River Race so it would be a great race to get too.

Painted and ready for the water pretty much! Need to do some other things like green roll cage & throttle control. This thing looks bad ass
Check out the dump valve on the nozzle
