it`s a Mystic C5000 model boat, goes over 90mph, powered by two JetCat SPM-5 marine turbines, boat got a new paintjob and the green longlite is right now the orange Stihl , very reliable since years, makes me smile each time driving the boat, the steam in the background is a German powerplant ;-)
I didn't know they had RC model turbines back when people made home movies on 8mm film! I thought they were all the rage in the last two decades or so. Cool.
When ever someone comes to my house and sees all my boats and asks why do I play with them.? I show them this video and they are instant believers. Lol. Great video
With the exhaust pointing upwards does this help to keep the boat planted on the water ? I would have thought if the exhaust was pointed to the back it would use the thrust to go faster. ....I know full size turbine boats are the same just wondering the reasons.
Bad ass! Even though I have always wanted an RC turbine nowadays electric brushless motors have made performance like this much less expensive. Still, nothing like the sound and smell of a turbine. I'd definitely want a little dinghy in case it flips! That last run sounds like it stripped a gear in his gearbox.
That thing is wild! Whats the top speed of that on a perfect day? Is a turbine R/C boat the fastest type of R/C boat? Could a boat with, lets say, a Neu-Castle 2028 or some other large scale R/C electric setup keep up or beat it? Castle clams it can have up 10hp with the right setup.
Always wondered what the gyroscopic effects were on turbine powered watercraft with the constant hull motion. I would think that there is quite a strain on the compressor bearing sets.....
That's true, but some people just want to tinker with stuff, it's fun. I can go to a store right now and buy almost any kind of RC fun (car, plane, helicopter, boat), but I rather build mine from scratch, except for the parts I can't (motors, complicated electronics and precise machined parts), everything else can be done at home and then it's a real hobby, or you can buy stuff from the shelf and have fun that way, to each his own, both are fun.
What have you had the boat clocked at? Do you have a good idea of how fast she goes? I'm guessing just by watching the video around a hundred and thirty mph!
Comming out of turn1 its Miss Budweiser, follewed closely by Atlass Van Lines and Circus Circus, But wait! Its Miss Pay n Pack screeming out of the turn and blistering padt all three.What do yah say to that Pat?
hi there have you speed tested this boat? top speed? run time per feul tank? high powered elictric may be fast but surely this turbine must be more relaiable and just out right cooler/ i love it very cool, you dont get to see rc boats in New Zealand like this.
Love the sound when they are spooled up !!!
This is freakishly amazing. What was most surprising is whole stable it is.
something about turbines and the water.....just a perfect combination! Awesome run!!
when you opened it up, all i could think was: "Holy SHIT!!"
nice boat man!
Very Nice ... Never get tired of watching this ...Thanks for posting
Geez like a friggin bullet. Love it
so fast THE FIRE WAS SO COOL THUMBS UP
love the commitment to the sport of rc racing .i have a MONO hull i have been runnig it for ten years now love the sport
cheers Andy
Oh shit, that is crazy fast!!
this is so sharp, imagine a gopro camera onboard, and most rc models, wow
Cliedo Cladidahopper wow, imagine if go pro wasnt even invented yet when this video was shot.
use an oculist for your video and the ultamate extreme in a state fare
a texas state fair and a virtual reality in your boat lol
Very impressive. Love the flames at startup. Thunderbirds are go!!

That baby is AWESOME
This is life changing stuff right here.
great boat ..i did not know this level existed ..and yes i dont care how you filmed it yet any comment still made me laugh ....good luck ..!!!!
Omg!!!! This is soooooo cool in many levels! Great job on the build, I tip my hat off for that one
Boy! that looks like one fine goose chaser!
The greatest thing about this besides "ONE BAD ASS BOAT" is "NO LAME BACKGROUND MUSIC" Good work guys>>>>>5 TURBINES UP!!!
Holy cow!,the last time I saw something that fast a jet fighter had fired it,unbelievable.
Holy shit! I was not prepared for the speed run. I want one!
always finding something new rc i never knew existed. Damn that's crazy fast...
Holy Crap is that a boat or a rocket!! Nice work.
I was like wow that's a neat boat ... then 1:21 onward I had to pick my jaw up off the desk! This thing is nutz!
When ever someone comes to my house and sees all my boats and asks why do I play with them.? I show them this video and they are instant believers. Lol. Great video
And I love people who never make something exciting without stupid comments.
What happened at 2:13, a flame-out?
How long do your props last? - guessing they suffer from cavitation like full size boat props.
Does a turbine boat have props?
mikekoz68
Yes turbine boats have props. The turbines are geared like in a Helicopter, they are not directly powered by the turbine's exhaust thrust.
thats a man with priorities
Wow! this thing is really fast.
Good brown gravy, that thing IS fast!
holy shit, when he kicked in the thrust i wasnt expecting that, that thing is hella fast
What broke at2:14 dit it break a prop? What is the shaft rpm ? Awesome machine !!!!!!
Sounds like the Roadrunner running on some desolate highway. Man, that's really brutal fast!
WOW ! that was BAD ASS...THANKS FOR THE VID
Very nice RC jet boat !!!!!!!!
That thing's wicked!
Gawd!! Scale speed must be about warp 5...
Amazing!
damn!! that shit fast as all hell
that is sick!!!!!that must be so fun to just nitro!!!!!!!!!! thanks mate enjoy that.
Well that thing isn't going that fas.......WOOOOSHHHHHHHH
I was thinking the same thing!!!
i didn't think of it like that till i saw your comment and laughed but your right that's exactly how i felt
I was thinking same to😄
Wicked! That thing is Sweet, great job guys (-:
Excellent!! Very sweet boat. Must say always love the wind up of a turbine!
Great run.
That was AWESOME!!
With the exhaust pointing upwards does this help to keep the boat planted on the water ?
I would have thought if the exhaust was pointed to the back it would use the thrust to go faster. ....I know full size turbine boats are the same just wondering the reasons.
Awesome! Just like the Full Size One!
That is one fast boat. Nice job.
Wow that baby can move!
That was awesome... now I really need one of those.
Ok that's just sick!
That's just insanely fast.
I like the fire when it starts
Bad ass! Even though I have always wanted an RC turbine nowadays electric brushless motors have made performance like this much less expensive. Still, nothing like the sound and smell of a turbine.
I'd definitely want a little dinghy in case it flips!
That last run sounds like it stripped a gear in his gearbox.
That thing sounds awesome !!
This must have been a one of a kind boat in the early 60's
Hi. Love the boat. How much did this setup cost? And where did you purchase all the parts?
that looks badass!
no stinken way dude awsome!!
Whooaaaaa thats unreal
brutal fast is right thts awesome!
Good job for driving it a great place and correctly.
someones got some deep pockets turbines alone are a couple Gs
All the money you spent on that boat and you use a blurry camera?
+greenrefrigerator He didn't have enough money left to get a nice camera. Dude, he sold his house, his car, and his wife for this boat!
That thing is wild! Whats the top speed of that on a perfect day? Is a turbine R/C boat the fastest type of R/C boat? Could a boat with, lets say, a Neu-Castle 2028 or some other large scale R/C electric setup keep up or beat it? Castle clams it can have up 10hp with the right setup.
Don't forget, Mark, A New Zealander was the first to make a JetBoat.
WoW .....speechless
Awesome boat!
WOW ! The Navy called, they want their torpedo back !
WOW.........just WOW
Wow that's badass!
You could have a lot of fun messing with Water Skiers or tubers especially if you could make the thing look like a shark...like hi speed sharknado!
MAGNIFIC
HA! you said holy $h1t, i concur that thing is fast.
Holy cow that is effing awesome!

Just Amazing !! Congratulations !!

REALLY NICE!!!!
Fast Boat!!!! That is all I can say!
Comming out of turn1 its Miss Budweiser, follewed closely by Atlass Van Lines and Circus Circus, But wait! Its Miss Pay n Pack screeming out of the turn and blistering padt all three.What do yah say to that Pat?
gooooo boat.. brutal speed
HOLY SHIT THAT IS INSANEEEEE !
GEWELDIG PRACHTIG
mini water skis + string + pet hamster = epic
Dang that is fast!
Damn that looks fun
What was the difference in sound on the last run? Sounds like a gear shearing or something?
What mph have you reached with it? Boat looks and runs great. Thanks
I’m just curious how much weight is in the bow to keep the nose down at those speeds?
That boat was so fast and cool!!!!!!!! where do they get the boat THAT VIDEO WAS SO AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
does the boat shoot fire as a aesthetic or does it really have a purpose?
Good grief that thing is quick! :-o
hi there have you speed tested this boat? top speed? run time per feul tank? high powered elictric may be fast but surely this turbine must be more relaiable and just out right cooler/ i love it very cool, you dont get to see rc boats in New Zealand like this.
Now thats fast!
holy cow on a icecream stick the flames at the start :O
Damn... Very impressive
That's a nice boat. lol I use to build the real boat. worked for Mystic Power Boats so it was cool to see your boat.
thats insane
Awesome, I was proud of my custom Enforcer (still am). Inspirational, thanks.
Nice boat man
