I was reading in the paper about a Windsor Ontario steel tycoon. He has a boat called Man of Steel, that was described as having two 1,600hp engines, and a top speed of 175mph. Does anyone know of this boat, what kind it is, etc?

I think it's an MTI. Was written up in one of the mags about a year or so ago.

nice boat

I wonder what the rebuild intervals are on Sterling 1600's?

Or the drives?

Then again, if you can afford the boat...

So what did this guy pick for it to be at lake Cumberland Marine now

That's Detroit steelman Barry Zuckerman's boat. I read he's got a 50' turbine Outerlimits cat on order. I wonder if he'll do the same paint job on the new boat?

22 foot open bow Bayliner!!!

Neat boat but I've never seen it on the water. He must not boat around here. Time between rebuilds can't be more than 20 hrs. The Bud Select boat had similar engines and they lasted less than an hour at race speeds.

I was reading the thread on Byrdman's 46 with similar JC power and they were pleased to have gotten 300 miles out of them. That's about 2 hours.
