Wow - a pair of newer Cummins 6BTAs (approx 300hp ech) with Bosch P-pumps ... the engines are the deal!

It has certainly been stripped down! Any chance it has been under water? Some of the dirt / staining inside could be a sign of that.

newer boat and already striped out? id think that she sunk before and the person was either trying to cover that OR took a bite to big to chew on the resto, regardles 15k for a shell with engines that might work isn't worth it.

Like Ross said if the engines are ok they are well worth it and more But it gets better !! They are the 370B diamonds (Cpl2208 ) 370 metric HP 355 hp US Sweet engines . If that Boat was closer I would make a offer ( after a engine inspection ) the one trans/ vdrive is worth 3k it self (ZF220V ) good gear

Where did you see that? Or are you basing that on the P7100 pumps and Sea Water cooled Intercooler?

If it was closer, Larry (PlanSea) would be getting diesels in his F36!

All Cummins B from the 300b to the 370 use salt water after coolers The Bosch inline pump (P7100 ) is used on the later 300 /315/330/370 Engines
The early 300B us a inline denso pump ( as did some 430-450 C engines)
lower HP engines mostly ( not always)used The rotary pump .

Now How did I know what HP ? well the are diamonds so that makes them 330 or 370 then I looked at the photos and saw the cpl plate . from there it was easy .

Roger.

I hadn't looked at the Photobucket pictures. Nice!

If these engines haven't been under water ....

Ross you see that they are 370 diamonds Now ,355 hp (370 mectric) . There are a few F32s around with 454s (350hp) so 10 more hp total I don't thing would be a big deal , But sure would be fun . :D
