This Turbine Jet-Boat is one fast ride. Looks like 1370 horse power is just enough for a wild water ski ride that you won’t forget.
"The T58-GE-8F turbine that is going in Squirt 2. It weighs 350 lbs and produces 1,370 hp @ 6000 rpm. That’s about 1,200lbs-ft of torque! The hull shown in the photos below is a 21ft aluminum white water race boat built by Eagle Power Boats. We have ordered a 23ft step V version of this boat for our project.

Yay!
Another efficient means of getting really nasty toxic chemicals, into the water table, I’d wager.
Whos up for burned jet fuel residue with their salmon?
Not that I’m a greenie or anything, this just seems pretty bad in that area.

you obviously know nothing of turbine engines. It exhausts above the water, so it’s actually a whole lot cleaner than the big block gasoline motors you’d find in most speed boats.
