Agreed - but it's still 850 quid which I should be spending on the formula.

Now, what about the drive system.
Turbine has, I think, 3000rpm output.

Matt, I am guessing that the turbine is small, (any pics?), but where on earth would you put it ? From the transom to the back of the seat is only about 18 inchs as I recall, unless of course you are going to mount it vertically on an outboard trunk !

Mount it forward of the driver with a shaft running back between the drivers legs, need to be careful about the coupling & alignment

Could it be that the cash required for this project may now be available?

Having played with one they feel really quick coz you are oh so close to the water. They will tip over quite easily when pushed hard. But having said that they are the most blinding fun, serious fun.... Really Serious blinding Fekken good fun. But I think you need a few of you running out to make a real go of it. on ya own it would feel pretty lonesome & wet.
Matt what a brill tender for ya Formula, get some hooks on the back boy!
