Hi all,

I just bought a 36 convertible and now the engine under overhaul. I got 2 X Crusader 350 HP. Is it possible to install turbo charger? do anyone experiences?

Yes its possible but I would not recommend it not great for long runs underload , pistons would need to be very low composition , and doing it with marine manifolds won't be easy and the heat from the turbo can be a issue . Just not a good idea for this type of boat

Best bet is go with a new EFI engine if you want more power

Prowlerfish,

To that end, what all is required to go to EFI? My boat is an 81 with twin Chrysler 440's. I may, at some point consider a repowering, and thought of EFI, but have little idea what is involved.

Cheers.

The only way IMO to go with re powering and EFI is to get the complete Engine package , , you can get EFI kits , but I have yet to see on work well in a boat . So getting the compete engine with EFI is the best way to go mercruser marine power and crusader all offer a good package

Welcome to the forum. Do you have pics of your new purchase?

Welcome aboard. What exactly are you hoping to accomplish by adding turbos?

Wow! An F36 in Indonesia? That I gotta see the pictures of. Especially if it ends up with turbos! Heiner's F32 in Germany was enough of a surprise (I didn't realize Trojans were shipped internationally), but that's cool. What's next - the Aussie Trojan?

I could see Bertrams and Hatties because of their blue water fishing lineage, and maybe some Chris Crafts because they have been around for a gazillion years and are everywhere, but Trojans would still surprise me.
