ran that sounded better was a 95 footer that had 3 800 Hp Mercedes
turbo units(MTU's).

I never got that post for some reason but for what it's worth, MTU is
the name for "Motoren und Turbinen-Union München GmbH" which is now
simply called MTU.

The parent company, Daimler Chrysler, also owns Mercedes and Detroit
Diesel but that doesn't make an MTU a Mercedes any more than it makes it
a Detroit Diesel.
