Over on powerboatlistings.com there is a 41 Cig listed out of N. Miami rigged with Isatto Franschini Diesel Motors & Arneson Drives....
I know nothing about it but put it out there if anyone on here can add anything from this cig's performance to Ratman's original inquirey???/ |
Coanracing.com. For trans. Call saber for a 41 they have a 41 cc on floor that could work. Or get a hull new

Price will probably decide the hull choice for you, but the 41' Apache or the newer 42' Chief hull will work. Definitely use a stock Cummins QSB6.7 550 hp engine and then it's easy from there.

There is an old Cig w diesels on Grand Lake in OK Listed at Shangri-La web site I believe.

I wasn't pushing it by any stretch - it's just a 41 that someone actually converted in the same manner that you were thinking. I put it out there in case someone on here actually had seen the boat and knew if it was actually successful.
I have heard of Isatto Franschini Diesels but I think they are the type of engine that becomes an offshore anchor at the first sign of trouble....I could be wrong but as you mentioned - Cummins is worldwide |

There was a few 40' cig 'attacks' that were rigged with 3208 cat diesels and arnesons -- there is one close to me. not real fast - 60mph -- but seems to be good in the rough since it's heavy. I saw one for salew on boattrader not long ago also. I would toss the cats in favour of a set of cummins.
If you were to rig a 41 apache i think you would want to slide the engines ahead a little in order to get the COG proper as the diesels --especially cummins 8.3's will weigh up compared to BBC's.... |
I would second the marine diesel approach rather than marinising a truck motor - it would end up more expensive and less reliable. See Pat Weismann about gearboxes, I believe he has done some stuff with Rik in the past.
We would be interested in a project like that but we're the wrong side of the pond. Full stagger on a slim hull and it will be a fast ocean cruiser. |
