Over the last 2 years ,I have looked for a suitable option to replace my ancient but still running perfectly fine Ford Sabre engines.That little bit of blue smoke when cold and all the little swets on the seals,made it look messy and the bilge crying.
Over the last 3 month I have buildt the Marine engine ideal for Kenya /Africa,using the base engine of a Nissan 3.2 liter turbo diesel.
The first 2 engines are in Arielle and the 2 nd one will be running by mid week.The top speed expected is 35 Knots.This will allow us to reach the sea mountains in good weather conditions in very short time at reasonable fuel cost.
The new engines are much smaller and lighter and have improved the boats stability immensly,by lowering the centre of gravity.
It also makes the cabin more spacious.
With the regular off season maintenance the boat will be ready by the end May.
I have driven it on one engine its absolutely great.
