If it was a Fountain hull, it would have gone 112.

why are there not higher HP diesels for the marine world? H*ll a duramax or 6.4 powerstroke can easily put 550Hp+ to the wheels w/ just a tune?

Look how many daily driven 6-800hp cummins there are running around? I was using the other 2 because they just make big power easier, everyone knows that a cummins is far and away the most reliable!!

Diesels are meant to be inline engine, much more reliable, cummins was a good choice lots of guys converting ford to cummins for the reliability.

The other thing here is an inline 6 has perfect primary and secondary balance, which is another reason they run so long , aside from a ton of fewer moving parts that like to fail.

Another point , differentiate from the rest , those 5.9 – 6.7 Cummins are real medium duty Diesels , used in a whole slew of real world vehicles and equipment , Dodge was real smart using that motor .
