- Start date
Hi i have been invited by Dan from PPE to affirm about the offshore fishing boat
with twin Duramax Fresh Water Cool . The boat is a 33 Pursuit 2000 it been running for 2 year's and it have 395 hr on them . I go to the Bahamas like 5 times a year.The boat is not the most efficient application because it have strait shafts and the hull it's not design for speed but still 2.0 mpg at 33 mph it can cruse at 38 ,40 but it only gets like 1.5 mpg but is still 3 times more efficient than before with gas motors. The gas motors will give me problems all most every day, the Duramax For being built by me they have 0 complains they are very reliable ,the vgt's they told me it won't work ,they are working perfect.
You can get on the gas and will not smoke at all and it will jump out of the water weighting 16500 pounds.
33 Pursuit Express
Twin LBZ stock With factory vgt
EFI Live tune 380 hp
Marine transmissions
Diesel Generator , A/C, water heater, TV's The whole 9 yard's

What type of transmissions? How are the temperatures? Sorry about the questions just really interested.
i built it my self PPE help me with the harness. Temperatures are right at the thermostat 195,
the transmissions are just a regular 15 deg angel Strait shaft,
in a boat with an out drive or a arnenson drive will be way faster and more
efficient , i will love to built a 35 or 40 something cat or v bottom boat with twin duramax to show people how more faster and durable it will be than any 502 , or big block supercharge. it is just the way you set it up.

That is the exact configuration of the skiff I am trying to put together. I would love to have some details and cost if you don't mind.
I thought we were talking about a powerboat not a fishing vessel? I agree with the owner, lets see a duramax infront of some arnesons to really grasp the bigger picture here.
But it looks good!
What exaust manifolds did you use?
Anyone knows if it's true that Ford windsor marine manifolds do fit?
