Hey guys, got a 12lbs turbine laying in the basement and we want to find a vhull to put it in to have some fun with. Im sure someone already has done the turbine boat thing, we just think it would be cool. Anyone out there have any good ideas on what kit to get?

probably gonna want a boat from MHZ. They make the big ones. I'm not sure if your aware, but turbine powered boats are pretty slow. They just dont have enough thrust for their weight. The newer ones that use a prop work pretty well, just something to think about MHZ has one of those too.

There are videos out there on the net of various turbine powered boats, but theyre kind of scattered.

I think these guys are using a helicopter turbine exhaust transmission to turn their propellers.

These guys can probably give help/suggestions/contacts to others that made turbine boats:
