Set-up and Trim don't get much better than this. Aired Out and Surface Piercing. Thanks Pete Boden for the great shots over the past year.
Over 4000 miles have been put on it since May 5th 2018 and the only maintenance has been soap and water and about 4000 gallons of Jet-A

Turbine Warlock Update.
May 5th, 2020 The Turbine Warlock was two years old since the first day she hit the water. 185 hours of operation and well over 6000 miles of running the turbine engine and drive-train have performed flawlessly and the only maintenance that was required was checking fluid levels and an occasional turbine wash. I'll gladly accept the slight increase of fuel burn and the sweet sound of the turbine engine over the continuous maintenance required on a comparable 1300 hp powered reciprocating engine.
Please, I am not bashing piston powered engines by no means! I love the sound of a BadAss Big Block. I have had and built my share of them and in most cases only a reciprocating engine will do.
I can hardly wait for this covid **** to be squashed and get back to the boating events.
