More On Outerlimits SV-52 Quad Diesel V-bottom
Here's little more detail on the new Outerlimits I mentioned in last week's blog on the company's engine program, http://www.boats.com/boat-content/20...a-closer-look/.
Only one photo with this piece—of the engine installation. Wish more were available. I'm sure they will be. |
:drink:YEAAAAA Matt, now we're talking!
|
That's awesome!
|
Boy that's a stuffed to the gills engine room for sure! :eek: Thanks Matt for these almost daily updates and articles. You are really working hard to bring us all the inside news. Keep on rovin' bro! :drink:

Wow; nice package for sure...triple digits w/diesels.
Curious, why not run two engines in tandem (two drives vs 4) like Bob Morgans 4 engine Skater? |
Two engines in tandem never works as well as independant engines, they fight each other ever so slightly. It not like these are 6-71's in a LCM, they had 2 and 4 engines into common shaft configurations.
Also, lesson from Buzzi if you have 4 engines and one breaks you still have 3 props to run the boat with all at full speed, the boat will still run like hell. |

We made a triple 600hp 46' for the 1990 Venice to Monte Carlo, it ran within 5 mph of the 4 engine Gancia. It would do a 100 mph.
I can tell you the quad boat just handled better. |
