Does a diesel center console count
 

Take a look at Hann Powerboats http://www.hannpowerboats.com

You can expect to see one of these at AYC in mid to late June

Almost everything inboard in England is diesel - our new boat is a racer and has diesels - Yanmar are one of the biggest over here as well as Stateside, with Gas prices so high and the economy of the latest high pressure direct injection motors it's a no brainer. We hope to get 2.6 miles to a litre at 70 mph which is just over 0.5 of a US gallon - I think a US gallon is 4 litres? The motors we're using are the Yanmar 3 litre 260hp models

Just went through this thread and very interesting read through the years.

Any diesel update guys? How about on those Volvo's. I only hear good things on their D6-350 and D6-370. Soon D6-400...

I have a 37 Spectre CC with twin Yanmar 6LP's and Bravo X drives, does 55 wide open cruise at 45 getting 2-2.2mpg or slow down to 38 and get 2.5mpg . I am still playing with the setup and I think I can get closer to 3 mpg at mid 30' speeds.

We built a 390 CC with the new 370 HP V8 Yanmars.
60 MPH top end with the Yanmar duo prop drives.
30 MPH = 3 MPH 50 MPH is over 2 MPG.

Building an all new sporty boat with them now.

Saw that when I stopped by the plant Monday, Terry. Think you were still at the show so missed you. That is going to be one cool boat. Very elegant like it belongs on the Med with a European flare to it. Can't wait to see the finished product.

Hi!

Check this one: http://goldfishboat.com/individuals/...p1-supersport/

One of the best offshore boats out there. Max speed 117 mph. Runs honest 80 mph with 2 x 380 Yanmars.

Cheeers, Toffen

Absolutely, with 380's and the right gears 80 mph is right where she should be, sweet boat!

December 2011 Diesel world magazine has a 25’ Nordic powered by a 2006 Duramax with a water cooled Garret DCX4508 turbo sending power to the IMCO drive with 30-pitch prop via an Allison transmission. Bat is reported to run over 100 with a cruise speed around 60mph using about 7 mpg rather than the original 2-3 mpg with original engine.

A friend of mine in Sweden has the 29 with a single 525 and the boat does 85 MPH it is a work of art!
