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.
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.
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!
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)
@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.

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

Shoot, just make plans for a biodiesel set up and I’ll bet you could get a govt. grant…lol
how big’s the boat, how fast, fuel consumption….what the crap is the pt of a vid that shows a diesel engine and a wake w/no other info?
70 hp turbo diesel jetta 1.6 liter engine. 45 mpg
Whats her top speed?

loud and smelly. thats all i have to say
Very good. Did you have to mess with impeller or nozzle sizes or just get lucky that everything happened to work out right?
looks like he had trubble with a petrol engine b4? cool diesel now.
yes, just the way it should be.
i love diesel
for a boat that planes out, that fuel burn must be near nothing.
Typical white trash woman…loud and smelly!
thats a prop not jet.
That is a JET powert boat, NOT prop!!!!!!
You can see thr jetstream when he is turning………..

thats pretty cool
Sounds like a detroit 8v71.

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