A lot of folks trash talk Detroit’s they are one of the most dependable, and easy to work on and maintain diesels ever built . If you were trained to work on one , you could work on almost anything they made.
That sound and smell when you first fire up a sportfish at about 4 in the morning is something that imprints on your brain. It has been burned into mine for over 50 yrs because I know iam going deep soon...
We had an old Hatteras with 12v71’s in it. 3am, we’d wake the entire marina up when we’d leave the dock to go fish. Thing ran like a tank though, one of the most solid sport fishers I’ve ever been on. Now we have a Hatteras 56 with CAT C32’s. Lot quieter, but I miss the old Detroits.
Oh boy, you can't mistake the sound of a Detroit! Back when I was trucking with my dad. One of the trucks he trained me on, had a 8V92. It was a 359 model Peterbilt, flat top. With the double sleeper. About a 83-84 model, with a 15Sp. Fuller O.D. which took getting used to. Because it had the upside down horse shoe pattern from 3rd-4th. and
My grandad had a 42' Uniflite with twin 6-71s and this video just took me back 35 years. Such a sweet symphony when the two engines were running in synch. It was one of the last heavy hull boats Uniflite built and those jimmys could get that thing up on plane in pretty quick fashion.
Conversion motors! They convert diesel into noise.
Had Detroit's on my boat in Nam. THEY NEVER FAILED US ON ANY OF THE MANY RIVER RUNS WE MADE.
Those Detroits have such a unique sound. You can tell a Detroit from a mile away.
There’s diesels, then there’s Detroit Diesels. Pure music.
there’s nothing like the sound of twin diesels running full throttle....👍👍👍 thank you for taking us along!

Nothing smells better than a cold 71 in the morning at the marina. Use to love it back in the day. We ran 903’s in the Post.

Geez you'd need to make sure you keep your batteries charged up! Those things take allot of turning over to start

Spent years with Detroits in the fire service. My favorite sound is the 8v92.
Those v8s are notorious and handsome the sound is soothing to the soul
That sound. One of a kind. Great for naps inside the salon.

The sound of 1 DD 2 stroke is great. But twins! It's an orchestra!
when I was in diesel school way back when they had an 8-V 71 on its stand and did a dry fire.
Sound of Freedom!!!
She looks ready for a three hour cruise, a three hour cruise.
Detroit has fast throttle response. You barely mash the foot-feet and she's already screaming. Lol I love them
