I'm looking for some feedback. Repowering a 97 Viking sc48 with new Cat 7.1's. Any thoughts or suggestions.
I’m replacing 3208 425hp. Had one engine go bad. Other needed new heat exchanger housing and transcooler. Plan on keeping the boat for a minimum of 5-10 years. Plan is to install C7.1 500hp. Change shafts from existing 1 3/4 to 2”. Remodel the engine room basically. Looking for some feedback on the engines and any suggestions on other things I may need to be concerned about or address while I’ve got the boat out of the water. Thanks for your response and input.
