Sounds like yours may be missing a little compression or in a need of a good tune up while getting a closer look at your inginiton system. Check out the site and tell me what you think :o

I've searched and looked every test. These test were done the 10M express and not the mid cabin. Even in the Trojan lititure list the different models cruising and w.o.t. speeds the mid cabin is not listed.

The mid cabin is much heavier due to Trojan using wood to build the interior. Where as the express has a fiberglass inner liner. And the engines in the express are set more forward, which I feel gives it better balance.

When I bought the boat last year the engines were checked out. compression on all cylinders were in mid to high range of specs.

I love my boat, it's just needs that diesel torque.
