    Gentry Eagle is powered by 11,500 horses... Gentry met with the renowned performance boat engineer Peter Birkett, who actually designed Virgin Challenger, Branson's Blue Riband winning boat. Together they came up with an aluminum deep-V hull, an engine room packed with two MTU 16V396 TB94s sequentially turbocharged marine diesel engines and a 4,500 horsepower Textron Lycoming marine turbine, and an Arneson surface drive strapped on the back. All that marine jargon has a simple translation: burning speed. To deal with the horrific beating the hull would take during a high-speed crossing, Gentry employed Vosper Thornycroft LTD, a company known for building destroyers, frigates, and fast attack craft. The boat was welded using a meta-lax sub-harmonic stress relieving process.
