Wonder what there fuel bill is for a hour of runtime. I remember reading about another boat like this and they keep having to rebuild the turbines because the salt water was eating the bearings and compressor blades out of them. $$$$$$$

Fire suppression most likely. Halon maybe? You couldn't hold enough spray to feed a gas turbine engine and it wouldn't be of much use either as a gas turbine's power limitations is not the availability of air inside the combustion chamber.

I've got a TPE-331-1 Turbine engine that uses 50-Gallons of Jet A an hour at flight idle. That boat has to go through at least 100-Gallons an hour.

^Coolest boat ever! How do they get it to handle like that? I would love to drive that thing!
