- Oxe 300 Hp Diesel outboards on a 34 Capehorn. Today we walk with the Oxe crew and did a sea trial on a 34 Capehorn.
My name is Alfred Montaner Host of the Chit Show in Miami
Didn't know you could get diesel outboard motors
first time I have seen them they just started making them.
We are getting ripped off diesel everything would be better .
Been about for years mate
I can see steam outboards comeing
The price! A 2020 OXE 300 was advertised for $60,822.
This is an incredibly important step forwards both for boaters (both pleasure and practical) and the environment. Congratulations and thank you to Oxe.
If you think that these diesel outboards are better for the environment than a modern 4 stroke petrol outboard you would be wrong
@@JohnWinzil But for fuel consumption, aka money its better. We cant have everything. 😂😂
@@benoitnadeau5845 they might be cheaper to run but they are 2 heavy for many boats l have a 250 sho yamaha 4 stroke that only weights 520 pounds and it is capable of over 600 horsepower and is very economical the diesel 300 hp weighs over 800 pounds which makes it unsuitable for many applications
I’m a trucker and have been around diesels all my life and there’s no sweeter sound than a diesel when it’s just humming along with a slight turbo whistle
Yes all i have is 03 exscursion 6.0 powerstroke bulletproof open highway cruise a long time with 44 gallon fuel tank the tuner set a bit to high but its great
Yee Haw!
Luke is definitely very knowledgeable and seems like a down to earth person. That was really nice of them to take you out and yes that is definitely an amazing boat for sure . Those engines sound great! 👍
Especially since his name is Capt. James Duncan.
He is talking about luke
@@BubbaBen01 Thank you
Incredible outboards,but the cowling design has a lot to be desired.
I,m glad that OXE came out successfully with those diesel outboards.
I literally built and designed the tower on that boat. My small shop builds all the tops for cape horn. Really cool to see my creation on UA-cam! I actually didn’t know Cape ever put those motors on any of their boats
What purpose does this 'centre console' boat serve? It looks useless in a swell of over 3 metres, you would have the first wave break over your bow swamp the whole boat.
It looks like a very flat bottom and lacks any major keel to keep it stable in rough weather.
And most of the deck space is unsheltered, so nothing to keep the waves and rain off the passengers or cargo.
Never seen a boat like this in our country.
I had first hand experience in 2016 to run OXE 300 Diesel outboard. It came with trans oil, huge torque but our boom boat was too light, it cavitated a lot. Pure genius on this outboard. Ken's Marine Capt. off did the testing for their R&D back in 2016.
Nice motors! The shrouds need to be updated. Would love to see how she runs in the bay chop. Good video Alfred! Thanks for sharing!
Wow that’s awesome to see those diesel outboards roaring.. I never knew about these! Thanks Alfred for another great video brother
Amazing how quiet those motors are and fuel efficient too.❤
ehh modern 4 stroke outboards are easily as quite , have much more power for the weight, and cost 1/2 the price
@@ct1762 a modern petrol engine is not nearly as fuel efficient and needs much more frequent service.
@@victorlunabba561 so your saying you've never maintained a diesel motor. got it.
@@ct1762 that's not what i said.
@@victorlunabba561 Gasoline engines don't require more frequent service than diesel engines. You're pulling that out of your ass.
I heard about these engines a while back, lovely to see them in action outwith the boating press. IMO what these engines really, really need are Sharrow Props. The noise reduction alone would make it worth while (engine noise is not the only noise a lot it is due to turbulance) let alone the better acceleration, top-end, and fuel savings.
Nice to see the popularity of these Oxe engines growing.
I’ll be honest those diesels sounded like they were less noisy then a standard outboard engine! And Alfred you talked a little bit about the weight of these motors compared to the 200’s, do you happen to know the weight difference between these 300’s and like the 300 Suzuki’s? And brother that Cape Horn looked like a damn good looking boat!! You need to do a sea trial on one and do a complete walkthrough with the people from Cape Horn. The bad thing is that they only make like 2-3 different sizes and that’s it I believe! Great great video Alfred!! As usual my brother!!!
870lb vs 640lbs
@@lovethedogsNC lol 840lbs for 300hp. id stick with my suzuki and 6 year warranty
Bought stock in this company a while back. I’m being very patient. 😂
The most expensive part about having engines like that is finding a diesel boat mechanic that works on outboards.
The outboard are awesome! Was always hoping for a diesel outboard. Don’t know if it is the boat design or the engine limit…sucks that you cannot take these engines completely out of the water when pulled up.
Taking a guess; on that particular boat it appears the size of the motor prevents them from tilting up all the way for fear of the engine cover hitting the boat, so I think in an effort to make the demo run smoothly the captain tilted it as much as he was comfortable, knowing he needed room to turn, and just ran with it and tried not to call attention to it. Those are some physically large powerheads and it looks like the size is towards the bow side, just not an ideal matching for that particular boat.
Looks like two refrigerators on the back, lol
Amazing! So much torque!
Looked like a blast.
Great boat, great engines...not a bad video Mr Montaner.
Could you do another in January?
Excellent outboarbs.😊
I can always tell what your level of excitement is in each a video by the amount of times you say listen haha. Awesome videos.
This guy is just too bombastic
900 LBS @ $60,000
OUTSTANDING !!!
bet it kicks with that new Sharrow prop, saw they made a pair for some diesel outboards.
Interested in the 200 for my pontoon boat. I'd probably have to fill it up once every 2 years 🤣
Kick ass -Have you seen their water jet model -omfg.
Diesel brothers already has a boat that will blow most away. But these are awesome.
Cape Horn’s are made up here in NW Florida. You should get a factory tour.
Id love that
The people in that blow boat are pissed you keep passing throwing a wake & their rig is flopping around along with their genoa sail because of it.
They sound a little bit like verados with the high pitch supercharger sound.
I can't believe they're diesel....I didn't even knew diesels are capable of getting this angry
You got to come up to New England once in awhile splash some water on the windshield and check out this weather if you think you're cold now bro. Awesome awesome video Alfred thank you very much. You always bring the goods.🤙
Very nice! Love the Diesel.
Definitely the way to go using Diesel engines,I have a Yanmar it’s been pushing my 20t boat for 14years 5000 hrs only ever changed the oil and filters and alternator belts.Diesels top out at 4000 rev’s petrols 6/7 thousand no wonder diesels last so long and fuel economy is amazing.
Impressive motors nice boat Captain and sales rep on point ! Alfred ?? Bless your heart I see you trying
But what happens when there's need for authorized service in South Florida ???
would like to see them test with the sharrow pretzel props on this rig
Pretty cool video, thanks for sharing! 👍
BMW Power! 💪
You are the best bro keep it up 👍🏻
No bio diesel for electronic direct cylinder injection. Bio OK for mechanical pop injection only.
I’ve always wondered about those engines
Bad ass Joe lets see when many hit the market and the people start weighing in on them
Thanks for the great video Alfred!
Diesel turbo sound so good
Bad ass boat Alfred.
Alfred, the true Florida man !
they make a nice sound. hope that company does well. and I'm a Mercury guy...
Only issues with these is there aren't many dealers around. If it needs service, there likely wont be anywhere in your area to do so.
Diesel outboard here I come.
Did I see this boat by my house in Somerset a couple months ago at Mack Boring? I like it but twice the weight of a modern outboard makes this impossible to retrofit an older boat without seriously rebuilding the transom.
These are awesome but I'll bet they aint cheap. Now I don't want to be negative but who designed the cowlings? Couldn't they make them a bit more stylish?
Hhmm need to look these up. I need to re-power our boat
Pleas tell me you do not have to run DEF in those Diesels
No
Damn I miss the Severn River, probably could have shown US Navel Academy.
Yes that’s really fine and dandy. But diesel costs more then gas so how does that really help?
At 2:42 in the video, he says the diesels were getting 8 miles per gallon (MPG). That's BS - when he said that, he was pointing at the 8.2 miles per HOUR (MPH) figure on his chart. At 8.2 MPH, it was getting 2.4MPG. According to his chart, the best MPG achieved was 7.4MPG at 5.2MPH. 7.4 miles per gallon is great for an outboard, but nobody is going to drive a 34' offshore boat at 5MPH all day long.
That's really cool! How high of seas can she run in?
Over 100ft seas
@@sh3755 lol! More like 6 ft.
Imagine trying to find a mechanic to fix these. Eastern NC you'd be traveling to Florida.
Surprised the comercial and charter guys aren’t all over these
fantastic engine!
Awesome video! That boat is beautiful.
Very cool!
We had EMD's offshoot for years drilling for oil and gas ..
Can't they round off that top cowling? That rectangle shape looks like some outboards from the '70's
yea the motors like 60 a pop
Yer 100k in New Zealand wow wee not cheap
Bring back the 300hp 375lb 2 strokes
Who is expecting a modern diesel electronic controlled injection to smoke🥹
Extremely impressive performance. What is that combo price range??
I bet the guy in the sailboat was cussing them as they passed through the bridge.
Great video 💪🏼💪🏼
Interesting how loud are these comparing to Suzuki 300 or Verado V8 300.
BMW straight six for the win!
Hey Alfred. What’s up, big guy?
The Drug Runner Special. Bimini to Ft. Lauderdale in under an hour. Two hours to Nassau.
Now they should upgrade to Sharrow props then test again.
Badass....but they look like a Hi-Point pistol.
now if the price of diesel fuel would decrease....
Love the outboard diesels. The motors that Volvo should have built instead of buying 7 Marine and then selling them.
Get that Parker!
Right on wow
I wonder what type of emission controls these diesel have...
give it a couple weeks and some will have em Rollin coal in a swamp somewhere hahah
Bad assss 🚤
james is the man
Are those the BMW POWERPLANTS?
Yes
thats scary.
@@AlfredMontaner somehow I don't trust new BMW diesels
Will run on biodiesel HVO100 and B7 according to the brochure.
Wwooooww.. I luv it!!!
These things will never take off until they bring the weight and price down. They weigh 300 pounds more than a Yamaha 300 and are 2 times the price.
I've got the same engine (BMW B57) in my BMW 530d. :D
Haven't seen a marina selling diesel. Is that happening in Florida?
Is this a propeller or is this a jet version? From how they reversed spun on a dime it must be a jet
Prop
How you doing Alfred
Chain and belt driven? Why not use a ring and pinion setup. Sounds like an OMC disaster. The blocks are BMW and Isuzu. But the drive may need to be proven over time and if it can take strikes and screwed in sand.
Wow that's badass
hulk wants oxe diesels
ALFRED, HELLO, this boat as equipped ,,costs how much ? THANKS, STAY SAFE ,,,,,,🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Dude I really need some help to find a memory with information for that motor, do you have an idea I would appreciate
