American Turbine

Turbine vs. Propeller Fuel Economy Comparison

During recent performance tests, the American Turbine turbinedrive consistently outperformed its sterndrive competitors in fuel economy.

In head to head competition conducted by a leading pleasure craft manufacturer, the American Turbine built turbinedrive produced amazing results in fuel consumption. Throughout the testing, all variables such as boat weights (3,051 lbs), fuel-on-board (2/3 tank), and passengers (two), were held constant. Therefore the results are extremely accurate.

The manufacturer concluded their testing by stating, "This test clearly shows that production turbinedrives can equal and surpass present sterndrives fuel efficiency and acceleration."

Previously, American Turbine has been noted for its world record setting performances in drag boat racing; now, they also prove that they can perform economically without sacrificing horsepower.
