Default 47 SC with Seatek diesels

About 8 months ago I bought a 1994 47 sport cruiser with 600hp (soon to be 800+) Seatek diesels. I was told there were 3 ever built. wondering if anyone else has one here?

Awesome! Is that triples or twins? What kind of performance do you get from them? I have owned a 1997 38 SC since 2006 with twin 496 HOs. Please let us know your performance after the upgrades too.

thanks, its a twin engine boat. #7 drives. it cruises right at 45 and tops out about 50 now....we'll see how it goes once new engines are installed. going to have to do a bit of prop testing I feel to get it right.

there was only 2 or 3 made with diesels. its a twin engine setup. I can't post pictures yet as I don't have 10 posts. if you have YouTube, "the diesel fountain" is my channel name...feel free to look around.

Always been told the Seateks will tear up the #7 drives... not so much at the 600 level.

But if your going with 800's now, thats a dramatic change in Torque with Diesel power.

Any concerns?
Or ya have it sorted out?
