MTI Turbines...
Are they really as low maint. as I have heard a couple of people say? Some make it sound like they cost a fraction of what you'd spend to keep up a twin or triple motor'd offshore.......

That's also what I hear about the turbine boats. The maintenance intervals make the initial investment worthwhile. If I recall, the reason being that the turbines don't need to be re-built for a few hundred hours. On the other hand, two big blocks probably need freshening every 30 hours or so and probably re-builds every 100 hours. Those are guesses.

they also don't like to be idled, so if you have long no wake zones, it might not work out so well.
