Gladiator goes diesel
Hi!
Thanks for all the help.
So then we talik about engine 1400 lbs plus 1900 lbs... Thats 3300 lbs equivalent to 1500 kg per side..... No good.
Another option to solve the CE rules are; sell the Merc 500 EFI / 525 EFI engines, and change to Merc 496 HO. Import it to Norway, then add Raylar engine upgrade. If I am correct you will have a 550 hp engine with ease. Due this way you will have CE approval. Its legal to upgrade as long you have the papers in order in the first place.
A friend of mine imported a boat some months ago with a Merc 525, and he had to remove the engine to get the boat into the country. Thats suprised me.
I am not sure about the costs for Yanmars in US, but I think I have seen USD 40.000 per side plus drives... You can get two 496 HO engines for USD 12.500 per side, keep the drives and add two Raylar upgrades for USD 7.500 per side. I am not sure what you get for two second hand Merc 525 EFI engines. Around USD 15.000 per side?
