WOW that is sweet on so many levels!
Nice work and as an owner of an oversized heavy boat I am very interested in how this thing does with the diesels.....I am not looking to go 60mph in my 15000 lb beast but it would be great to have the mileage, longevity, and torque to spin the arnesons better and increase my range so I can go to the abacos and back on a tank of good old USA diesel.
Keep us posted

Lots of long days (and nights) to get to this point...
Props go out to the Eliminator Crew, Mike from Cummins, Larry Smith, and others how helped "git'r'dun"....
As for Mercruiser/Smartcraft....

Shueman,
Great pics great project,........any pictures of the engine bay finished out? Interesting running the exhaust all to the Starboard side.
Thanks

The motors themselves really dictated where the exhaust was going to exit...see the attached pix...

Gary, do you know the weight and length vs the 480 hp Yanmar.. Are they relatively close...Also what rpms are you turning and who's multi-speed tranny are you using. Thanks Jeff
