...AND we're off to the races.

If it was a Fountain hull, it would have gone 112.

Carry on! :poopoo:

why are there not higher HP diesels for the marine world? H*ll a duramax or 6.4 powerstroke can easily put 550Hp+ to the wheels w/ just a tune?

Look how many daily driven 6-800hp cummins there are running around? I was using the other 2 because they just make big power easier, everyone knows that a cummins is far and away the most reliable!!

Diesels are meant to be inline engine, much more reliable, cummins was a good choice lots of guys converting ford to cummins for the reliability.

Impressive!

Matt, do you know the displacement weight?
Thanks,
Dean

The other thing here is an inline 6 has perfect primary and secondary balance, which is another reason they run so long , aside from a ton of fewer moving parts that like to fail.

They dont run at 3000rpms for hours on end though.
