You may have read that they're building three 165-foot, 750-passenger ferries for the Gold- en Gate Bridge, Highway and Transportation District in San Francisco. But did you notice that they're using Jacuzzi- Jets powered by gas turbines? That's significant: it is the first gas turbine powered marine mass transit system and they are the first marine jet powered ferries in the U. S. Why JacuzziJet? For some solid, basic reasons. Like speed. Up to 25 knots. Like the compact- ness of the power packages. They're small and light enough so that all three Jacuzzi- Jet/turbine units in each vessel can be installed at the stern, increasing passenger accommodations midships where older power units would go. And less maintenance. JacuzziJets have only one moving assembly. No propellers or shafts. The Golden Gate Ferries will use three 2,500 SHP turbines driving 36YJ JacuzziJets through reduction gears. They will produce over 45,000 pounds of thrust at 25 knots. With the smooth- ness that's a trademark of JacuzziJet. Instant reverse thrust capability means maneuverabil- ity will be precise, too. If you're designing or planning to buy a vessel with conventional power, include JacuzziJet in your thinking. There are models to meet your engine requirements —gas, diesel and turbine.
