What the heck is that outboard on that thing ???? Diesel ??? Said on the cowl ....

Think I saw that boat forsale on craigslist a year or two ago w twin 280s ......

Don't think the motor survived to see production, but some videos of one running on youtube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-MUeWgGATSM

Interesting idea, don't know the specs, saw an article on it a while ago.

Yes, it is my boat. I have always wanted to know how the Diesel Outboard would run on a true Cat so I bought this boat for a test. The Diesel outboard is still running strong just not the right setup for this boat, does not turn enough RPM and too heavy for this application. I will be putting the Diesel back on a Center Console where it ran really well.

And yes it had 280's, they are now on my boat freshly rebuilt by Diamond Marine. Thanks again Don, they are running great! Both dyno'd at 300hp.
