no fucking chance of 40knots in that; maybe with a return tide of 10+ knots and a wind behind you but that's not a true speed anyway.

oh, and that's an alright installation but this is better

seawater cooling, on those, they pick up through the legs via a cooling water pump.

There is also an immense amount of ventilation, there are three parts to the ventilation, engine intake, vent in and vent out. Vents are designed to allow a flow of air over the engines and out of the back of the machinery space.

Benefit of the above engine which I think is a Perkins is that it'll run on pretty much anything like most of the mechanical diesel engines. The problems with the engines above and most modern engines is the electronic control systems shutting the engines down or putting them into limp mode for the slightest of issues or fuel quality which can't always be guaranteed. To put it in persepctive, when the twin instalaltion above goes into limp mode, the boat can progress at 5knots but its used on a river with a 7-8knot current so the boat is effectively useless.

The D6 370s use 74litres/hour so 148litres/hours at full tilt for both engines.

The boat with the D6's fitted had twin 375litre fuel tanks so at full throttle would drink the whole lot in a little over 5hours and 250Nautical Miles which is about 285miles so about 1.73MPG

oh and as for the random boat photo comment, I have designed either in whole or as part of the design team all of the ones I've posted

that sounds bad, but the big boat above (which will be even worse) is used as a replacement standby vessel in place of using a Helicopter which would use even more so figuratively speaking, they're better for the environment than the alternative

My 30th is better than any Mesa
