Very impressive and descriptive video of your boat plus your understanding about engines is brilliant

I enjoyed this ride along and the description. We want one day to set up to complete the great loop. Thanks!!

Detroit baby! Pound for pound these engines smashed any 4 stroke engine of the same era. The technology exists now to build advanced two stroke engines with the next gen being opposed piston designs. What a waste to replace these magnificent, gloriously sounding engines!

Wow that's pretty darn fast for such a big boat!

End of an era as those old heavy oil guzzling 2 strokes are replaced with modern 4 stroke motors that burn cleaner, take up less precious room,. and are thousands of pounds lighter. Typical 20 knot spt. fish will pick up 5-7 knots after repower.

@@rski1036 I doubt I will get much with a repower. The heavy weight down low actually helps with ride quality..fuel mileage isn't terrible either. I get twice the mileage of my friend with a 76fter and .modern 4 strokes

With a lot of time left to those engines, why were they scheduled to be pulled out? Those Detroit diesels are hard to kill.

Looking at a 50 hat with 892’s Shocked to see that top speed! What was her speed at cruise?

I thought I recognized that area. Its where they filmed Catch-22

4000 hours and no smoke? So many hours left to give.

Can you post this with refitted audio

Why on earth with 3,000 total run hours have they been rebuilt at all? My last engine had 15k hours on it when it rusted out. I have many diesels with 7 to as much as 18k hours. The guy must have ran it on the pin all the time.

Marine duty Each one is probably putting out 750hp

The 8V92 produces 312 hp (233 kW) of continuous power at 1,800 rpm. Intermittent power is 362 hp (269 kW) at 2,100 rpm. Maximum power, on the other hand, is 388 hp (289 kW) at 2,300 rpm. This engine has a displacement of 738 cubic inches (12.1 liters). A turbocharged version was developed later on.

My grandfathers 1983 46’ Viking has the 8v92s with twin turbo and superchargers. When you say the turbocharged engines developed later on, would that mean those engines were outfitted with the turbo kit after the original sale? I only ask because last year we had one of the manifolds replaced as it had rusted straight through and just today we had suffered the same problem on the other engine (outboard side, same as last year’s replacement) and I was wondering if that could be related.

Yep swap them out for mack e7's all mechanical

Woah audio

Normally we go by hours of operation.

Those are great engines but not a nice place to work in we had to rebuild a 371 2 871s and a northern lights lugger.

@@ryanehlis426 3500 for a 8V92 is not a good idea as they have week main bearings to start with. just ramp up the timing and the flue curve a bit and you can push the pony's pretty safely. being the sea version it should have the big cam to start with.
