I want to build a diesel powered offshore boat to make a 2.5 hour round trip daily, so number 6s wont get it with the 200 hour rebuilds. Planning on some 400+ hp cummins engines. Thx, rm

Bob why did u choose yanmars over cummins?
What are u using for trans? Single or two speed? Are u running air tubes to the props to help get it on plane? Thx, rm |
I am in the middle of a similar build.
I only spend a couple of months a year in Florida running my boats and wanted something that would be reliable with a cruise speed of 90+ to get down to the Keys etc. Went with a 43 Supercat Arneson ASD8 drop boxes BPM sterntubes, & Seatek 10.3ls 800+ hp diesel motors. These run four valves per cylinder polished forged rods and crank and spin up to 3100-3400 rpm on two bar of boost. Zf301s with a ratio of 0.86 -1 giving a prop speed of around 3600rpm. |

Only failure on the whole driveline was 1 universal joint so replaced all 3. 3) Yes to air tubes and works real well to get spooled up. Bob |
Awesome rigging there bob!
Can u post a pick of the drives? Do ur drives have the chain boxes to allow u to mount the drives at the height u wanted? Thx |
Super!
