 Kohler Diesel Engines
Has anyone run Diesel on a mud boat yet? Seems like these motors are fairly new to the market...

 Re: Kohler Diesel Engines
I think there was aguy on the old site, can't remember his screen name, that lived in Alaska and was running a diesel but not sure. Old site is open so go over there and search, you might be able to find something out there

 Re: Kohler Diesel Engines
I could see them working as for as low end torque. Weight would be an issue.

 Re: Kohler Diesel Engines
Talk about a set-up...I bet that low end torque worked good in the mud, but concrete on the transom...

 Re: Kohler Diesel Engines
I think that Rambo was running a diesel longtail in his last movie, he was even making his own props too! Pushed that big sampan of his really well.

Rambo is a wuss. I heard Chuck Norris uses a turbine engine on the old Predator frame.

Under that beard, Norris has a spinning mud motor prop.
