Hi!

Just curious; would it be possible to mount two Yanmar LY Series 6LY2AM-STP (440HP/370kW) engines in a 37 Outerlimits. And what kind of speed should be expected?

A friend of mine who is a marine mechanic tells me that the Yanmars are relatively easy to upgrade to 500 HP each without loosing too much longvity. Those engines are rated to last at least 10.000 hrs without rebuild anyway...

With 2 x 500 HP it should be possible to run in excess of 80 mph?

Cheeers, Toffen - Norway
Norway is oil exporter - but the most expensive fuel in the world....

tHE WEIGHT IS THE ISSUE,PAUL FIORE HAD A DEISEL BOAT AND IT RAN REAL GOOD.i THINK ABOVE 80

Outer 42, which boat had the diesels, the 37 or the 42 Legacy. Also which diesel package was it, I heard Cat Diesels, Thanks JEFF

They had a red 37 Cat diesel boat back around '96 , '97 .

I don't know what kind of deisels,paul ran it for a long time in a 37 and jus sold it.

Here's a few pics ...

The Yanmars will fit , should be used with Arneson ASD 8 drives. The 37 diesel boats had CAT 3126 420 hp engines.

the red 37 with the 420 cats runs 72-74 holds 300 gal fuel you can go all weekend on 100 gals of fuel have owned this boat 7 years turn the key and go will run all day at 65 no matter how rough it gets
