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.



Like I said - just a glorified truck driver . . .

Just like the glorified truck drivers called Astronauts huh?.

How many tons can you move legally? Not enough tonnage to take a
Kentworth to sea huh? Well at least you might be able to drive a Tonka
truck to sea.
