Subject: atomic 4
From: (JAXAshby) Date: 07/07/2004 18:26 Pacific Standard Time Message-id: sorry, shen, but the author clearly stated the engine was gasoline. Could care less what some writer stated. No one in their right mind would power a boat that size with gasoline. Considering the size of the boat and duration of the trips and requirements beside the propellor, how many 600HP (and I'll admit that's a guess) gasoline engines do you know of that are "marinized" to run for two weeks at a time (+) at that rated HP, and to last 8-9,000 hrs (@300,000-400,000 miles) before a top end overhaul. Take a look at the web sight for the Andrea Gail and look at the pictures of the sister boat.... my guess, a Detroit 149 something or other. (could be a smaller 71/92) Do you know why I'm guessing Detroit? Sorry Jax, but, unlike you, I've been around a lot of fishing boats over the last 30-40 years, and I've seen few if any "gasoline" powered boats. Shen |
