It looks like the C-18s would be a good match. Smaller on all dimensions then the Detroits and he'd lose approximately 1000lbs between the pair in weight and gain an extra 400-500+ HP over the Detroits depending on the HP of the 12v71's he has. 1100 Common Rail MANS would be a good choice also. Although they'd be my second choice. I have seen a lot of engine sensor problems with the Common rails. The Engine sensor is the same part number for coolant temp, oil temp, and a few other facets. And I've seen several of them need to be changed and go bad on seatrials and engine startups that I've done.

I'm pretty sure that the 3412 powered 60 Hatteras is still living at Old Port Cove. Name of the boat is HOME RUN. The current owner did the repower. I believe she cruises in the 26-27 knot range. I'm sure that Mark or Suzie could put you in touch with the owner. Very nice person, former baseball player.

add ********** to the blocked address, I don't know why it wont post the link, rivalry?




Here is a link to another forum I frequent, it has pictures of a 65' Hatteras MY that was converted to MTU Series 60 from the Detroit 12V71, I cannot get the image to come up so you will need to see it there, I am thinking of buying a 58 Hatteras Triple that has the same engines and was considering this same approach because it was originally a triple cockpit and the owner opened the aft area so its now a double.

No way! You're from Wasilla, Alaska? Have you ever met Sarah Palin?
