CUMMINS QSC 8.3 540 HP. (New) not recon. 1.75-1 ZF gear, panels, harness, gauges. Electronic shift w/trolling valve. 0 hrs. Full warranty starts at time of install. $36,500. George (410) 456-44xx MD. I know this engine is too big but, I was also curious about price. This was listed at Boats and Harbors. I didn't see much in the way of rebuilts for 8V-53's. They have been obsolete for a while now. I would think a pair of these in a 46' Hatteras would make a nice package. Has anyone run a Hat with this power? As far as the 38' Bertram I think the only way you can come out is to pull the heads and see what you have left. Will the motor turn over or is it locked up?
