Fished next to one last year, looked great in the water, and with those diesels I'm sure his fuel bill looked great too. Very Nice ride!!

Here are more pictures of the Spectre 37 Diesel. This sled has a custom air brush paint scheme in a couple of the pics. The extra paint does not reduce the fuel burn 40+ cruise at 3 mpg. I like those numbers

The new 24 Center C will have a 9 miles to the gallon cruise with a single diesel. Those numbers are sweet I will be getting more info and pics this week.

I remember seeing this boat, I think Cotey had these last year at the show.
Concept seems great for the future of gas prices. Would love to know more about these as I have questions of the desiels handling someone like me.

You all know I would never run hard. But say I was fishing a tournament and sea's were big and we need to push can these motors take the constant pounding that will come from a center console at 30 knots?

we own a 315 yanmar and it is a great engine.....Mac boring told us you can run it to the wood at 3800 RPMs and the only thing it will hurt is your wallet....i personally say that them engines can take it

I can't believe they would put a Bravo IX behind those diesels. I have the same power with a IIIX and have had plenty of trouble with it.

pectra 36with twin yanmars

I own a 25 ft shamrock with a 240 yanmar and it burns about 3 to 4 an hr at cruise the 315 will burn a bit more about 6 gal per hr per motor. my buddy has a 27 shamrock with the 315 and burns around 6 to 7 an hour. So the spectra burning that for both engines is something to look into before buying.
