THE DCB has a 900hp blower motor and a Bravo based drive
Hope it comes standard with like 3 spares.

Come on, at least the one in the yellow one is intercooled! Check out the A/C evaporator in between the genny and the riser. Also cool is the house hold receptacle and blue plastic box on his plywood contraption.

Run, don't walk away from these boats. Who knows what else is jerry rigged? The thing about these Rube Goldberg generator installations, is EVERYTHING is half @ssed, the electrical, exhaust, fuel system, cooling, mounting.

I can't believe people buy an expensive boat, and then are too cheap to get a marine generator.

Marine gens are pretty pricey. Actually, really pricey.

From the looks the DCB is just using it to operate his battery charger. That'd make for a $10k charger if installed from factory.
