Look at the water line in picture 2 :eek:

was in hot boat, didn't get good reviews.

the boat was or the motor?

b17 radial engines were turbo and supercharged...

Lycoming TSIO-540 = fairly modern aircraft engine turbo-supercharged-injected-opposed 540 ci.

I remember reading about a ferrari back in the early 90's that was supercharged and turbo charged

The supercharger is for low end they should uncouple at a set rpm we had some on the military boats but the drives were the weak point.

If you like that our new boat is going to have diesels in it - shame we're the wrong side of the pond! BMW 3 litre derived Yanmars - 260hp a side and over 70mph with ASD6's - we hope!

Race and leisure versions - there will also be a version with a removable roof which will stow in the engine ampartment.

Cat - Those engines are taking a very long time to bring to market! Is there a predicted launch date yet?

By the way they are big heavy engines for not very much HP - 570kg / 230hp against 260hp / 319kg for the latest Yanmars that we're fitting ..................
