This is the latest of a line of beautiful boats from Mark Beaty.  Mark's rookie season in CT has been a productive one.  This boat is lighter and more powerful than his others and shows great speed.  It is nice to look at on the water too.  Mark takes great care in making the boats look great.  Look for this one to make some noise near the front, especially in smoother water situations.

The real boat:  This was crew chief Jim Harvey's first turbine boat.  The crew decided to make the boat the first to be able to run a Rolls Merlin piston engine and a Lycoming turbine engine interchangeably in the same hull.
