yes if it has twin Arnesons and No power then Iīm Game.... Put some big inch diesels in it and let 'er rip.
Thereīs one with the abovementioned combo overhere.
Only way to power a 50 footer IMO wisely.

Diesels may be the best all around option, but they miss out on on of the most important traits...........the sound of powerful Big Block Chevys as they come up on power. It is all about the sound.

The most important Trait is the FEEL of REAL POWER and TORQUE on a big daycruiser like a Meteor or a Sunseeker Superhawk etc. Regarding the sound...
Diesels can be had as V8īs ..Mercedes M.A.N , Scania all make ones with Big Hp and displacements.. will be tough fits on a Meteor but the one over here has CAT 3208īs.
The sound of those on power will make any Big Block Chevy derivate wet its pants.
And Yes Iīm a BB Chevy nut myself but also like them Bigger engines at 1000 or so c.i.
The sounds of those are more sofisticated and less tiresome when your out with your boat and can take long hauls better and thatīs the nature of boats in this size, not just rip up for an hour or two, just ask Jassman on the board.
