wasnt someone building a 400ss with some marinized Duramax’s? What ever happened with that?

I've been curious about how this turned out as well . I actually asked Scott Porter about this boat when I saw him at the Annapolis boat show. My impression is that he wasn't thrilled with it compared to a Volvo diesel powered 400ss although he did say he thought the owner was happy with it. He talked about the Duramax combo having some turbo lag and maybe a harder time getting on plane vs the Volvo supercharger / turbo combo they normally use? I'd love to hear more about the boat also. Info on it seems to be scarce. I think someone that posts here is friends with the owner?

The boat is up here in Michigan. The owner wasn’t to thrilled with the performance coming from a 525 boat previously. Between the time and money it took to do the conversation, I doubt it will be done again. The one thing he is very happy with is the fuel mileage, much better than gas obviously.

the work was all done at formula and pretty sure they said they’ll never do it again
