Leilas, who are you?
Omerta, none on the 48' but we did quite a few on the 63' Sundancer. That was a fast boat. 1350 Cats and over 55 mph.
We raced Stuart Hymes on the Gov Cut in Miami against his 63' Sunseeker with 1350 Cats. Not really a fair race but fun none the less.

The 600hp motor from cummins merc is a QSC 8.3 liter. The QSB's are all 5.9 liter motors and their hp stops at 480. YOur going to have to go aftermarket, and thats something i would not do.

Rik who are you ?, http://www.offshoreonly.com/forums/i...cons/icon5.gif. the qsb5.9 is just a unpublished program away to get to 600hp
Cummins merc doesnt offer the motor you speak of and neither does reggie. Its QSC not QSB. You want to hot rod your 5.9.......go for it. It aint no dodge truck motor in your fountain 48sc.

The Real Reasons
1) Better Serivce for the dealer from the mfg
2) Quieter
3) No smoke
4) Better resale
5) They do not blow injector pumps on a regular basis
6) Consumer perception
7) Performance is the same (top end) but Cummins come on plane faster.
8) I think that's enough reasons.
