Wow. That's pretty cool. Wonder how she does on fuel?

 

Personally I don't think a rotary is the best fit for a boat, but it's still pretty cool.

 

triple 2400hp diesels, the size of these motors were incredible, I was in awe of the engine compartment



could not even get it in one photo

 

Dude!



That is seriously nuts.



Money much?

 

you should see the engine on the 115 foot yacht in the marina right now, it's guy who owns the hotel and marina. They were doing oil changes. Only takes 4 50 gallon drums of oil to do an oil change LOL The engine room has 3 dedicated ac units, it's ****** awesome!!

 

That boat was tiny, only a 85' I was in that engine compartment when it was 90 degrees with 95% humidity, it was like being in a air conditioned room!



Speaking of that oil change- goes to show you if they GAVE you the boat you could afford to keep it. That boat I was working on holds 5000 gallons of fuel "so yeah you can use the boat, just fill the tanks"







I painted its sister ship next to it in this picture, a 33' Hydrosports with triple 300 verados, and it was a ******* dinghy next to the tribute. We were making repairs in the tribute from the fire suppression system that someone had accidentally triggered.

 

Yup when we were in our old marina and diesel was through the roof, I watched one of the bigger yachts take $28,000 in fuel... HOLY ****!

 

"will that be cash or charge"

 

Is there a big market for diesel mechanics? With these things swimming around in money, I'd imagine it'd be like having a full-time pit crew.
