Turbinator Turbine Powered Catamaran

Eventually got started again on the turbine cat after many setbacks.
If all goes to plan and I pull my finger out she should be ready for the water this year.
I created a little web site to document the build.

That is really coming along now.
Those shifters look great on that center console good work.

Really like the canopy as well.

Cheers Cye
Shifters turned out real nice thanks to your workmanship.
I will upload some better images and add a links page to my site at a later date.
Send me details of your website and I will add the link.

Cheers
Jason

I have done all the design and installation myself.
I had a local old school engineering company make the output shaft and the outer ring used to adapt the turbine speed reducer to the SCS crash box.

The project has been very technical but I think most of the hard work is behind me now.
