Looking for a Diesel Powered Test Boat
 

Hello Everyone-

My Name is Don Gardner and two guys and myself have started up a new company called Maritime Engineering Group. Recently, we have come up with an exhaust system that will clean the particulate matter (the black, smelly smoke) from the exhaust stream of a diesel engine.

We have hundred of hours of testing on a dyno with great success. Now I am looking for someone (in the Fort Myers area) that would be willing to let me install this system on there boat. I am looking for an engine in the 120hp-315hp range. It can either be a main engine or a generator.

I know a performance boat is not a candidate for this type of system but I was hoping that someone on this site has a friend that would like a cleaner diesel engine. Any help or leads would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Don

Is Tampa too far North ?

What about Mastry Marine in St Pete, maybe they could get you in contact with someone that may have what you are looking for.

Hillbilly-

Thanks, Tampa is too far for the first tests. I would like it to be within a half hour of me, so I can monitor the test while it is going on. This way if a problem occurs I can fix it ASAP.

Thanks
Don

Don I have a 42' Fountian with Yanmars 440's and a 39' MTI cat with the Yanmars. If you think it would work on the larger motors. I am in the Delray Beach area, when you want to try the larger motors. Bill Mazzoni

Bill-

Thanks for the option of using your boats. For right now I am going to find something n the lower HP ranges to make sure all the bugs are worked out of the system. Then after a few months of testing I will be ready for engines producing up to 500HP. I should have product ready by the time the Miami Boat Show is upon us.

Thanks Again
Don

TopSpin I only have one picture of the transom, the boat ran 92 on the first set of props. Just got 2 more sets to test in the next week or so should run just over 100 when I am done. Then I am going to sell it. Bill
