Enjoyed making this video with Todd & Nick from Statement! Johnny Tomlinson on the throttles and Todd driving...I was amazed how fast they connected and got this shake-down run into some seriously high numbers, and the boat was stable through all the paces.
@@Marc3753 This is what baffles me as well. But in the news it was said the boat was a total lose because they didn't have insurance on it at the time of the fire.
The track is called zircon hourglass released in 2005/06 and for those that say that the helicopter can't do 180 mph your right, so how can the boat do that when the speedboat is doing 180 mph the chopper is hovering in one place and the shot is towards and from that spot and when the chopper is keeping up with the boat it's on reduced power look at the roster tail and the bow it's not that far out of the water the spray is coming from the bow not the stern of the boat.
hey guys for clarification on the video dialogue: 1) this chopper maxed out at about 130mph- it was a Bell Jet Ranger. The chopper did NOT follow the Statement when it hit 180 mph- because clearly we could not keep up. I was there, my crew shot this episode the boat did 180 trust me...but not with chopper following at time, Enough said hope we cleared the air on that. Producer, Stu Jones
best speed boat video on the web just cant stop watchin this vid, iv done 102 9n a 40 fountain, just cant imaging the smooth 180 in this setting , much prais to the heli pilot. AAA++++++
You know it’s serious when you got a throttle man 😍 just like in a multicrew machine we have pilot flying & pilot monitoring, watched this as a kid still gives me goosebumps, part boat part aircraft love it, that turbine spool up intro is perfect
Thanks for all our fellow RUclips viewers for all your positive and inspiring comments over the last five years!! I never imagined we'd hit over 3.2M views (plus another 2M +from reposts) ...and still going! I can see how this video has impacted our passionate boat lovers. Indeed, the one-and-only Turbine Statement earned its name as "Passion Cat". As the producer of this video for Statement, I must sadly report that this amazing machine burned up in an horrific fire during the Key West Poker Run 2014. Thankfully..nobody was hurt! This awesome cat is among the fastest, coolest and most outrageous boats to ever hit the Florida Powerboat Club poker run circuit over 25 years!! RIP Statement Passion Cat!
You are the MAN!! I met you at the Miami Show many years ago. Glad to see your club is still going strong! Unfortunately my 24' Carlson trimaran was stolen and stripped in 2006 and I haven't bought another one b/c I'm 73 and retired now. My Minister of Finance says no more boats. :( :(
thanks for the kinds words Everett....sorry you lost your boat, only solution now is find lots of friends with boats and always bring the booze and offer to pay for gas. You will get invited back for sure..LOL
It is (was) truly an amazing piece of ART! Sadly she burned up 4 years later,- all on video....that episode coming soon on this channel! Please subscribe and stay tuned!
@Patriot Jefferson Afaik no one was hurt but I had no info about that, just that the boat was destroyed. The MISS GEICO raceboat was destroyed in 2012 when a fuel line broke in the engine bay during a test run. Both men got off the boat w/o injury.
Yall have the fastest boat on the planet; Ken Warby's #2 hull Spirit Of Australia II his son is driving. They want to break 560kph(350mph) at Blowering Dam.
Amazing boat, I love the lines and graphics color scheme all classic the boat is poetry in motion. There may be some faster boats but this is the complete package.
Turbine Marine builds a Lycoming turbine engine that makes 1850hp with a bump up to 2000hp. Two of those should make this boat run around 200mph. If that's not fast enough for you, they can build T-55 Lycoming turbines that make 2750hp with a bump to 3000hp which would be a 220-225mph boat. These are military helicopter engines that have been completely rebuilt to flight specs. There are some differences due to being put in a marine environment but they're basically the same ultra-reliable engines that choppers use.
RIP Passion my favorite cat is no more. :( :( My deepest condolences to Todd, Nick and all their employees who built that magnificent creature. I cried when I saw it on the vid.
@@slowpoke96Z28 I don't know and the guys at STATEMENT aren't talking. MISS GEICO had a fuel line break and she burned to the waterline. :-( :-( Greatest raceboat ever built.
@@slowpoke96Z28 I believe the same thing happened to STATEMENT! as MISS GEICO; A fuel line broke. But as I said, STATEMENT! has not released the cause of the accident and if they don't say, and it's been so long, I don't anticipate any cause being made public at this point in time.
We have races in the States in 5'-7' seas, sometimes more off Key West and the New Jersey coast. The builders are former racers themselves so they build their pleasureboats to the same specs they raced with. This boat will run 80-100 in 5-7s.
I would name it the "U.S.S. Hey, Everybody... Look Over Here At Me! Are You Looking Yet? 'Cause I Can Circle Back Around If By Some Chance You Missed Me The First Time. This Is Just Like Driving A Harley, But, Ya Know, On Water, 'Cause It's A Boat, And Equally As Stupid". It's a working name, but you get the gist.
I have no doubt the boat can run 180. Some choppers can too and that one may be one of them. The FPC has a lot of fast boats so you need a faster bird to keep up with them.
The boat can do 180, but in this video it was only a little Robinson R44 chopper doing the chasing...so the boat didn't go that fast :) I don't think the Robinson can manage 100...
Fishing Rod And look at all that room between the engines. You could put a LOT of fish boxes in there! Two big problems though; no non-slip and no side rails. You would have to fish from the cockpit.
Turbines can use almost any fuel so in that sense the boat is 'green'. They are probably using a mixture of JetA fuel and something else, maybe gasoline. The downsides to turbines are 1) they use about 10% more fuel than comparable gasoline engines and 2) they use as much fuel at idle speeds as full throttle. Upsides are 1) they are practically indestructible 2) two oil changes a years is about all they require 3) they can run for thousands of hours before major maintenance.
All you peeps that have no respect for the effort put into this boat. I myself more of a care person but have had rides in boats not this fast but over 100mph and if you can't appreciate it then screw off, wether YOU can afford it or if you can't appreciate it and only think of drugs or batman or whatever. First put in just 1 day of what it takes keeping this boat going and you will joyfully go back to your 9 to 5 job. This is a work of art god did you not see the way it skated across the water
Jerome Poth Screw dem man. The engine must be a real gas chugger wid insane torque. The comment section is full of retards commenting but supercars go faster. Wat they forgot is boats are faster than cars that will hv to do a zigzag to reach where it is going. For the boats. It is open waters. An yup I'd love to work on these coz I got a gd knowledge on marine tech.
Nice video, not too much slo-mo like so many others. Can never understand why so many fast boat vids are in slow motion most of the time. Good music choice, thank God it wasn't Heavy Metal.
YES ITS TRUE- You could fit a jetski in the middle of the engines! But they put a hot-tub there instead..LOL Enjoy our latest show: ruclips.net/video/eiqPSD9HFtk/видео.html
In races two people are required. In the smaller boat classes one can drive and throttle with the other navigating. In the bigger boat classes there has to be a driver and throttleman. As fast as it is, this is a pleasureboat so the owner will likely do most of the driving and throttling.
...and don't forget the first-ever air suspension cockpit which is great even in a cat. STATEMENT has made their statement with this magnificent Flagship!!
Yes I am glad you liked the Statement! It was a great machine, until it suffered an untimely fire, in 2014. Very Sad... A video soon will show the incident. Stay tuned!
Make him live 100 years. Like a car with factory standards. My parents always reminded me, always reminded me that do not modify the engine because it will be damaged quickly. Thank you for responding to my comments
FABULOUS ! ( See this for the First Time ) The Oceans have also about twice the Surface Area. Seaworthy self-driving Amphibious CATAMARAN-Trains ( Comfortable )To CONNECT CONTINENTS Is Never Studied. West Africa to East Brazil, is only 3000 Kilometers.
@WhiteKestrell No. STATEMENT runs 1450hp Lycoming T53-L13 turbines from Turbine Marine in Florida. Miss GEICO is a raceboat running 1800hp Lycoming T53-L703 Turbines from Whispering Turbines in Montana. Not sure what the MSRP is for that boat but it's well over $1M.
Was in the marine industry for many years, Most work done with Jet drives . I worked with Panther Jet. They developed a scoop that worked fairly well . I still have one of these. The angle is very Impt....
As for draft it's hydroplaning; the only thing in the water is the prop and rudder.maybe a centerboard if it has one to improve high speed handling once out of the water. 180 MPH is no day in the park. There are a lot of figures and calculations to consider. The Cat haul design is for high speed minimal turn performance where as the V haul is for lower speed sharp turns. What's your cup of tea? Speed boats are just as different as cruse ships and ski boats.
One of the very best turbine boat videos on youtube to this day including all the hydros and river boats! Excellent tune with good turbine whine too
Glad you enjoyed it!

Didnt this boat catch fire??
@@Marc3753 Yep in Texas at the Outlaw Shootout. Bonus is... the owner didn't have insurance! Brilliant!

I'll be there for my own experience.
Let me know when you get there. I wanna go for a ride.
damn.. where is the sound of the raw engine power that roars, fuck the techno music drowning out the roar of d engine..
You wouldn't hear a roar you would hear the high-pitched whine of jet engines.
Everett Cox There you go! I hear...slap :0
Jeez-us! What a work of art! Absolutely mind blowing-! Hats of to all that brought this beauty to life. Nothing like a cat-!
Great camera work, awesome boat!
Just...........wow! The best and most high end boat for me! Hardcore!
Thanks to see something like that!
Freaking incredible video. I am adding this to my favorites and will probably be watching it every day. Thank you for this!

Saw this boat at the Emerald Coast Poker Run last weekend. Incredible piece of machinery!
Damn, what a life.
Friend: What you doing?
You: 180mph on a boat
We have some boats on the water now that are up to 200mph! Yes its a little crazy.. Not allowed on the poker runs, but capable of those speeds
Just bought my first boat CC. I'm nervous at 50mph! Someday would love to ride in a boat of this magnitude! Impressive
Big rod holders on the side :D
Incredible! Great showcase video
Glad you enjoyed it, thanks for watching!
BEAUTIFUL go-fast boat!! I bet some Cuban drug runners would love that! :D
Very nice boat. Incredible speed. Love the video.
Many thanks!
The Nicest Boat Ever See Of My Life Incredible
was i dreaming or it was an International backing off with boat but not shure
the only word i can say is amazing
no swing like others this is something
Awsome sea, awsome boat, great cameraman, great music! JUST an AWSOME MONTAGE VIDEO! Great job seriously!

Maximum Speed: 180mph
Range: 15miles ( with 2 drop tanks and 5% of reserves)
Really? We reserve this kind of ownership for people with liquid money, right.
That's 5 minutes at 180 mph. I think it has a longer range than that
saw a Statement boat at Lake Cumberland over Labor Day weekend. Nice looking Cat.
I would name the boat 'Silk Graphite' or 'Graphite On Paper'.
I would name it the "U.S.S. Hey, Everybody... Look Over Here At Me! Are You Looking Yet? 'Cause I Can Circle Back Around If By Some Chance You Missed Me The First Time. This Is Just Like Driving A Harley, But, Ya Know, On Water, 'Cause It's A Boat, And Equally As Stupid". It's a working name, but you get the gist.
That’s a sick ass boat ,I win the lottery I will buy one of these...
Yes but that one burnt up in a fire....might have to shop around there is only one more out there! Yes its sickass for sure!
Engine sound would be better...
Wow. Such a powerful boat. Seems to be a lot of fun
Just one.
I know her well.
slick looking boat
I'd think it would get old fast
heck, I didn't make it to the half way mark
288 km/h
Damn. Just amazing! That boat can move!!!
Yes very fast boat ...for its time ( that was 10 years ago)
180 mph? Most choppers can't even go that fast. Try again.
miss geico 210mph
It isn't probably related to that precise video sequence...
I have no doubt the boat can run 180. Some choppers can too and that one may be one of them. The FPC has a lot of fast boats so you need a faster bird to keep up with them.

Maximum speed: 130 kn (240 km/h; 150 mph)
Cruise speed: 110 kn (200 km/h; 130 mph)
Impressive fast boat, great video.
Yes very fast!!! thanks
its not usefull to fishing.
Very perceptive of you Val. :)
Who says you can't, you can stop and cast some lines...
