Don't ever consider a 6.0 power stroke for a reliable engine. Might as well mate it to an alpha and take turns guessing which will leave you stranded first!

Bob the Builder's (my other father) is powered by diesels. What drives is he running? Anyone have any engine pics of his 50 NorTech?

diesels
I convert my 32 hustler to diesel here in europe and chose for the cmd 4.2 320 hp which are the same weight as a BB and give not to much tq for the bravo drives wich I upgraded to XR to be a little saver .
The boat runs awesome spinning 34 bravo s to 3750 rpm and does 72 mph every day and the midrange accelaration is incredible only thing is that it takes slightly longer to get on plane but when the turbo scome in you have to back up the sticks . http://i1007.photobucket.com/albums/...1/DSC01919.jpg http://i1007.photobucket.com/albums/...pResolutie.jpg http://i1007.photobucket.com/albums/...1/DSC02257.jpg and a vid http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fSprB59wZJQ&t=34s |

Love that Black 32 Hustler. Those boats will run. Looked at one that had the original arneson drives, 427CI 450HP engines. Ran close to 90 with that power. With 600's they went 100mph. I think the bravo equipped 32's ran mid-upper 80's with HP500s....
72 aint bad for some small 320HP diesels. Curious, what made you want to do the diesels over the traditional chevy based big blocks? Fuel useage? Parts availability? Im sure things are different overseas. Around here, big block chevy parts are a dime a dozen, they run forever with proper maintainance, and simple to rebuild. Im sure they are no where nearly as efficient on fuel. |

And i like to make à plan in my head and build it to see if it works , and it did !! |
