What is the different specs between the old Detroit 12v71s and the Cummins inline 6 cylinder 6.7 liter replacements? What is the Hp and torque output of the engines and how much is the weight change between the two? How much slower are the Cummins re-power units going to push the boat at both cruise and top speed for when you need to make a dash top speed run for any reason? I expect your Cummins fuel consumption will be between 40% and 60% less than the Detroits at the same hull speed.

I thought crashing through things was a guy thing?

Scary stuff asbestos

In that hat you could call you the salty dog 🤣 I love Popeyes biscuits and chicken but my massive girth and unbelievably high cholesterol says drive past…. I could spend hours exploring that yard the only problem is I would buy lots of stuff I have no use for but it looks cool when you buy it.

These ones aren't good england!

I liked the cool old delapilated “1051” tied up between the “New Pacific” and the sunken wreck at time stamp “14:55”. Now that boat has some character! I wonder if she is in as bad of shape as she looks to be. Looks like she needs a bit more than a scrub, scrape & paint.

Very lucky they didn’t have more damage

Episode 19 already. Time flies when you enjoy watching 🍻

Great information about spring lines

It never will end 🤯🤯🤯🤯

I feel for you 💔

Video 15. I had to upgrade my patreon membership 🍻

Fun 👏

🤩🤩🤩🤩👍👍👍👍

You saved tens of thousands of dollars having Blaine around. Knowledge is a currency all on its own

Bit by bit small steps will take you far over time.

I will comment on every video even if I have nothing to say just because it benefits your channel every time a comment is posted 🍻

Balance work and play. Dogs make your life better 🍻

That’s so cool

You two get along like my wife and I. I’m always doing things to make her laugh

Such a good time 🍻

I can only dream what it would be like to journey to places like this as well as around the world every day. You are blessed

I imagine you made your own heat 😉 thought I would throw a bit of innuendo in for fun 🤣

Do you have numbers as to how much fuel you used to get her home?

excellent engineering and so much weight saved

It’s like you were destined to be together

Part 1 🍻

Starting at the beginning of your journey 🍻

Amazing effort,, you can't stop no matter what's in your way well then from both of you

Hi guys, if Blaine could tell me how much of a weight savings you should have after the refit.

Miss you guys . Always Nice to see Blaine in his element. Great job on the vids 👍🏽

Going well team . . 💐👋🇳🇿🍻twa

It's almost like Blaine knows what he's doing 😂. Congrats on 10k guys. 100k to come.

The 12v 71 Detroit is such a cool engine, back in the day that was the ultimate big boy power plant in a semi tractor 😊

Great work! Im sorry, even though i drive a Cummins . Those engines are soooo tiny in there, unbelievable how much room you have now!!! It’s going to work so much better and be quiet!

Amazing work

Way not go to a place to have it arc welded it would be a lot better.!!!!!!!!!!!

Nice work. Hard to imagine those Cummins will be powerful enough to power that big yacht. They look miniscule compared to the big honking 12 cylinder prior powerplants.

I was twitching watching Janis use an electric die grinder without safety glasses 🫣 Aluminum chips flying everywhere 😲 Somebody needs to give that girl a slap on the wrist or she might like a spanking better lol. Have a discussion about PPE. Yeah, I'm guilty about not using gloves or ear muffs. I sure don't screw around with eyes. Safety squints don't cut it. I've never tig welded before, we didn't do it in our shop or have one in our shop. With those engine mounts, I'd burn them in with 7018. I know some would say mig weld them. I don't trust wire feed welding. I want something to hold stick welding with 7018 it is. I know guys will argue that mig strong, yeah, I call bullsh*t. I know my welds hold the proof is in the pudding. The shaft couplers that come off the detroits talk about overkill 😂 I think you are going to notice a difference in quicker response when it comes to slow speed maneuvers. You won't be waiting for all that rotational mass to slow down or visa versa. You may miss it when cruising, the boat is prolly close to 1000lbs lighter maybe more.

You all are taking a big horse power hit aren’t ya from the Detroit to the Cummins

looking at the outro, the vessel has very clean lines cutting through the water, hardly any wash, it will be interesting to see her cruising with the new engines.

Please wear safety glasses when grinding

The overall project is cool enough but the fab work is the icing on the cake as we would all like to do a project like this in our mind but we lack the vision and skill. STill cant get over the size difference in the engines.

Careful with dissimilar metals like steel and aluminum. They are trouble when put together in salt water...

What do you think of stray current corrosion detectors?

So is the bare aluminum a new style or just a preference! What will you have to do to keep it protected?

This is Grandma and Grandpa in Spokane! Your personalities is what sold me on your channel! Plus I am excited to see your future!!!!!
