It was at the In The Water part of the Miami Boat Show getting fuel too.

They put diesels in it?

Anyone know who owns it now?

[Coolerman]

I'm pretty sure (not 100%) it's the original owner, Ted McIntire.

Would be nice to ask about the difference between the turbos and the diesels....

Looks like turbine exhaust stacks on the stern. Turbines should run diesel fuel just fine. It would be a big let down for me to go from hi tec turbine power to big heavy slow diesels. The DIESELNATOR

I think those are bumper holders. I'll see what other pics I have from Miami...

wow.....ugly bumper holders. Guess something had to cover up those turbine exhaust outlets!

Any more pics of when it used to have turbines, and any info on how it ran?

I know it ran over 110 when it was for sale in 2009, but I heard the handling was kinda crazy. I'll see what else I can find out. It's been sitting for quite awhile as far as I know.
