Why not just put three blower motors in it?????
I was thinking two healthy Duramax engines...may not be near as fast, but wouldn't be embarassing either.Why not just put three blower motors in it?????
Yes...if you have the coin, the Arneson's aren't an issue...and I'm sure they'd build it.400R's are ~1000 hour motors if you keep up on the oil changes.....but yeah that's obtuse. I'd much rather have two big diesels and a pair of arnies.
Have you seen the "Stratoliner" dual fuselage heavy lift out in Ca? That's what I pictured...two of those CC's in a cat setup, big catwalks connecting them in parallelIf someone builds one with 8 will they call it a B-52?

Just think of all the money in props
Reliable probably isn't the issue...speed and power I see being anemic. Seen yachts and trawlers with Cats and Cummins, but nothing that would blow your skirt up...no speed applications yet.theres a few dudes on OSO that have been trying to make duramax or cummins truck engine adaptations into boats, nothing reliable yet that ive seen

Some asshole would run that on parker.

Here is a listing triple diesel with arnesons.
Most of the large cc's talk of cruise speed of 60 which is probably a good speed with an army aboard.
I'm certainly not a prospective buyer, but there's no way I would spend $3M for an offshore center console with a leather interior.
Maybe I'm uneducated about it, but really? There has to be the occasional cockpit spray on any boat that runs in the ocean, and it just seems strange to me.
I see absolutely NO purpose in that boat except flushing 3 Mil! ...WTF were they thinking!
That is insane. Good for themI don't think the owners are too worried about it, this boat replaced their 42' cigarette CC with 5 400Rs... plus they still have the 34' MTI with twin 400's... and the 70ft+ sport fisher... and the 100ft+ yacht... and who can forget the 52' MTI with 1350's.
To say they are living the dream is an understatement.

It has ac. It even blows ac on the helm via gen powerAt 60 feet, I would rather have a big, comfortable boat with two diesels and an APU and A/C and lots of room to party and live aboard. Cruising the Caribbean, you are never in a hurry.
This is the nortech 560 with triple 550 cummings motors.
It's CUMMINS!
