Lobo,
I'm not shy, if I wanted to kick Iveco, I would. This market is alway's in flux, someone is alway's building a better mouse trap. You mention the problem you had with Volvo about getting seemingly simple part's, guess what me too!!! I've had problem's with other brands aswell, mostly the "offshore" type's. Not pointing finger's or saying that they are an inferior product. My point is before you jump, make double dog sure, that there is service and part's available in your area. A brand that sell's great here may not have the support in other part's of the country. Some brand's that sell great up North, can't be given away down here, just the way it is. Again it doesn't matter what color it is, it boil's down to part's and service when you need it. Because at some point you will. We're on the same page. Frank

Bluewater .. you should talk to cummins..
they have re-built power packages that have warranty's and the little bit of weight you give up is not going to hut you. especially with the room you get in return. they offer 2 years on repowers and they do not have all the fancy electronic stuff cluttering them up. go to a set of the mathers / zf controls and your golden. just my two cents .. good luck!

Quest,
Just wondering about the how the weight difference will change the boat. Capt D and I were talking tonight and are still wondering what will happen in relation to the full top. This is a picture of the boat.

While, I am not dealing in the larger Cummins, I have the smaller B series. There is something to be said for going to your local auto parts store and being able to order any Cummins part you need Marine or not!
As for weight, you can always add it but it is hard to take it away! Add fuel or other fun stuff! |

blue the weight to hp is great!
your only talking about 4-500 lbs each side changing gears even to zf's.. you start looking hard about 'how' the boat 'feels' when she is totally loaded. parts are easy, easy to work on etc.. that boat is way heavy in the first place... I like bertrams...! ran a 42 called adlib for about 8 years with high hp 903's in her.
