I would love to put a diesel in a boat I owned. I have had a couple good running diesel's myself and am a member of diesel race team. Also big fan of the inline 6...Cummins myself not the same as you but same concept you have. I had a nasty triple turbo setup that supports 1000HP at 2000CFM, the shop that built them just released a bigger set that flows 3800CFM. And make 4 pounds at 1300 RPM's so they are ready to go...

My set
My kit used 3 50mm gates two on the manifold and one at the end of the intermediate pipe. I ran 90 pounds of boost through this motor hundreds of times on just H-11's. The drive pressure was much lower than boost pressure. I am not a fan of running true twins and splitting the cylinders myself, I would compound it.

As I understand this truck had stock 5.9 parts in the bottom end for a long while.

All the stock light duty diesel transmissions will fail much beyond a 100hp increase.

For everybody who tunes in now and didn't read everything :-)
Reason's why I chose mercedes:
1. I am putting 2 in 1 boat so seize does matter as it is a 23 FT
2. I don't want a diesel that makes 1000 NM at 2200 RPM (cubic inch = torque) so that's why I decided for a 3,2L
3. Weight
4. Availability (here in Europe)
5. Reliability
6. Proven to be HP hungry

I realise he has built a new motor and a LOT of way cool stuff,the first motor according to people that know him, said it had a stock crank ,rods and pistons.
