    Please stop perpetuating this myth from the late ’70s that really was mostly due to crappy hull design. Precisely the same physical laws (Newton’s laws of motion) apply to prop or jet propulsion.

  5. andreboogie says:

    Wow, so you converted a car engine to a boat engine? Brutal!

    Looks Great to Me!
    I’d like to do a Diesel speed boat so I could run it on WVO the same as my car and be able to take the thing out as often as I wanted without having to worry a bit about the cost of the fuel for the thing.

    Shoot, just make plans for a biodiesel set up and I’ll bet you could get a govt. grant…lol

    nice `1 …… i have peugout 1.9 td in my speedboat and its running rev upto 6000rpm now ..

  12. dorsetengineering says:

    That revs out nicely by the sound of things. We’ve got a 16ft glastron with a perkins 2L turbo diesel coupled to a bmw stern drive… Nice to see another home brew marinising job!

  13. Jorskin24 says:

    loud and smelly. thats all i have to say

  14. kimmer6 says:

    Very good. Did you have to mess with impeller or nozzle sizes or just get lucky that everything happened to work out right?

  15. paulme33 says:

    looks like he had trubble with a petrol engine b4? cool diesel now.

  16. farmerallis says:

    yes, just the way it should be.

    i love diesel

  17. Icepacalapse says:

    for a boat that planes out, that fuel burn must be near nothing.

  18. lakewood85 says:

    Typical white trash woman…loud and smelly!

  19. chapmanmerchant says:

    thats a prop not jet.

  20. Dnikolajsen says:

    That is a JET powert boat, NOT prop!!!!!!
    You can see thr jetstream when he is turning………..

    Intercooler with air or water? Having any problems with engine cooling?
    I also have a car diesel engine in my boat with a watercooled intercooler, very efficent! Had som problems with engine temp but after using a bigger seawaterpump (from Volvo V8 (GM) marine engine) it works just fine. Fuel economy is unbelivable!
    Engine i use is a Isuzu 3.0 v6 common rail with VNT-turbo. Same engine used in SAAB 9-5 3.0 TID. With a Volvo Penta sterndrive (VP280SP)

  22. knwrthman says:

    thats pretty cool

  23. Busdude97 says:

    Sounds like a detroit 8v71.

  24. kimmer6 says:

    @lakewood85 Yeah, but they have no teeth to ruin the moment. And to get rid of her in the morning, you put a half full bottle of Scotch on the porch and lock the door once she’s out.

    this is the best demonstration of what a boat should be doing on water. Thanks:)
