What about diesel electric units for slow speed, as well as peak power use, and possibly a smaller generator for light use. However, the light...
I'd NEVER do little mud river at low tide.....always at high tide.....
Then I'd be taking a hard look at CAT, since we both told you the exact same thing about the MTU's. However the ones I ran in the Hatteras did...

I had opposite experiences on a brand new (at the time) 2013 55' express. I ran it from Ft. Laud to St. Maarten. It had 800 mans and was...
