Tollycraft 61 Detroit Diesel 8V92 TA Full Load sea trial

Turn up the volume for the glorious twin turbo song of Detroit Diesel!
After a busy week of maintenance we launch Tolly 61 Hull 28 and unleash the glorious Detroit 8V92TAs to find if the new 'Speed Bottom' makes a difference- It sure does! I'm convinced these are the healthiest 92s around as they so effortlessly hurl this 85000 LBS yacht through the water. Must be making over rated output. Success! And Captain Ross seemed to enjoy himself as a bonus.

What price?

[@mrpotter315]

Very impressive. 23kts+ at 1,900? I did not know you could get that kind of performance and efficiency out of the "61". Those Detroit's have to be some of the best engines ever made. Forty, fifty years old and they are still churning it out. Great Video. Thanks for posting-it-up.

[@boattguyafloat]

She's always been a strong performer, but the slick new bottom job has added 2 knots! Amazing!

[@alexrivera4092]

Detroit they are very good on Yath sound beautiful screaming nice she clime up easy. 🔥

[@OnlyEwe]

8v92 are smooth and easy to work on big mufflers helps with the noise love those Tollycraft 😎

[@boattguyafloat]

The 800 Cat is not to shabby either... A bit tougher to work on or fit around in a nice 65...lol

[@Chas1160]

Gosh, for such a large boat, those engines push her fast!

[@boattguyafloat]

She's a strong performer to be sure...

[@OnlyEwe]

My 65 with 3408s is a tight fit so I lost 15 lb 😂

[@boattguyafloat]

@OnlyEwe Ha! Im so glad you're enjoying her, a great boat! This one in the video is coming up for sale soon if you know anyone....

[@ericr.3759]

Is that an Ed Monk Jr design? The hull sure looks similar to some other Tollys and Ocean Alexanders. Best semi-displacement hull designs ever.

[@boattguyafloat]

yes indeed

[@chrismcleod1796]

I miss the sounds of the detroits , we had the 6V53T on our tolly 44 Jollytime , she was sold last year and now is in ladysmith .. Miss her..

[@boattguyafloat]

the 653 is a great match for the 40-44 Tolly. Surprisingly robust for the power density too...

[@chrismcleod1796]

yes they were an incredible motors , had the boat for 15 years and never skipped a beat . @@boattguyafloat
