New Turbine power

[pirate]

Hi all,
Thought i'd let you all in on my new project currently underway.
21' Force (forceboats.com) 1000hp FT-53-11 Lycoming turbine running through a Merc V.
Hoping to have it in the water in about two months or so.
I'll post pictures as the parts start arriving

Have you done one of these Turbine Boats before ???
My Turbine (T63) Allison/RR Boat is smaller but it has same characteristics as your T53 Lycoming...
Let me know if I can help ...
Is N2 / gear box spinning right direction to a outdrive???
Let me know Matt :D

How's it going with T53 install ? Don't know how far you are,but I found it isn;t like putting a 454 in... Let me know Matt
