Well the saga with my motors continues.
Refresh.
Boat sunk, motors seized, motors removed, partially disassembled,
mechanic a scammer, took me for $15k, now has thrown motors into a paddock, so rusted and most probably U/S.
I really don't know whether worthwhile pursuing to get motors back or look for different motors.
They were 320 HP Detroit 8V71's, driving through Allison 2:1 gearboxes with
1 3/4" prop shafts.
Do not wish to change anything under
water so what is minimum and maximum HP I can go to get similar performance?
Chris Craft 55' Constellation at 32 ton.
Head height is minimal, with previous header
tanks just hitting underside of floor, so can't get anything with a turbo sitting on top.
Plus - and most important - as no monies coming in and all just going out - I can't afford to just go and buy a matching set of motors and gearboxes and will have to get second handies.
Any sensible, constructive
advice, much appreciated.
Cheers
