Wow what is idle speed 12-15 mph? Could you change for 1:1 transmissions and 40" props? I wonder why they went with cashboxes those motors aren't so powerful that a transmission couldn't handle them. What was the setup on the old boat? I know it had the same engines.

I believe they were already in the boat when he bought it. While they are both good engines Cummins has done a horrible job with the packaging of the engines and they are much wider than the FPT. Just lazy engineering on Cummins' part.

Need the 11" dropboxes to get propshafts in right places. SCS crashbox/dropbox is a nice compact unit. Same setup from day one.
Idle speed not so bad when running one or two engines - 7-8 mph.
