I'm not sure the D-Max would hold up to the strain of the Marine enviroment.
Now, a 38 Fountain with 3x Yanmar 480's and Arneson drives would be the S#!t.
I got to ride in a 43 Nortech set up this way. we were doing 70 across Tampa Bay without breaking a sweat.

I've actually seen that bike in person, used to live in Southern California and we would ride bikes in the Malibu Canyon area, stop at the Rock store and just about every Saturday morning we'd see Jay Leno. Cool dude!

Logan,
I can't say it won't make power. In a Pleasure craft it might hold up just great. I just don't think it a long life engine for marine use. In terms of marine diesels if it can't run for 8000-10,000 hours minimum, it's not worthy. That's only opinion, not based on any facts.

Pat

My dream vehicles would be as follows

Jeep Cherokee XJ with mad rock crawling capabilities
a muscle car, either a mustang or Cuda or something along those lines
A sport bike, a dirt bike, a cruiser, and a BMW Dakar
but my all time dream RIDE would be Jessica Alba

Thank you

Good night!
