And it will make a nice big explosion when (Not "if") the seals in one of those Blowers goes and it completely runs away

Nice!!! I have a few buds that work at Detroit Diesel. They make some INSANE motors there on their own, let alone modified like this!

It is so heavy it would probably sink the boat. That thing has to weigh well over 5,000lbs. Using 2 supercharged big block chevy engines a builder can get 3,000 horsepower without too much difficulty and the two combined would still weigh less than half of that diesel. Pairs of that diesel in unmodified form were used in a few larger yachts though.

Ya it wouldnt be great for a Race Boat. Like most Diesels, they're more known for their Torque. Although those 2-Strokes were pretty high strung.

Yea, the CATs that are in the Sea Ray I posted in the other thread are just huge torque monsters. Not much up top.
