Detroit Diesel Crew Boat 2009

Detriot Diesel crew boat doing a rope swing personnel transfer from a platform, then getting under way to head to Fourchon.

We are on a DP Vessel close to the platform to do some scrap recovery in the nearby area and I just happened to have a free moment and my camera. I heard the boat coming in and new the Detroit Diesel fans, me being one of them, would love the sound.

And yes, I get to hear that fog horn every 20 seconds all day, all night, 24/7, while awake, sleeping, eating, showering, etc, etc......

though i think all detroit 2 strokes sound great, i personally like the sound of detroit marine engines. maybe it is the lack of mufflers.

Great post. I love the sounds of crew boats especially the Detroits and Cats.

@asulca593 i kno what u mean they have a deeper tone it has somthin too do with the exhaust bein really wide and a few other things

@asulca593 I know a guy who has twin 6v71Ns (no aftercoolers) with mufflers. Loud as fuck though.

@MuddyMississippiMan oh why

[MuddyMississippiMan]

@staticxfan4life our 4 mains aren't really all that loud, but the motor for our bow thruster is extremely loud

[staticxfan4life]

@MuddyMississippiMan ok thanks i always wondered that now i know!!

[MuddyMississippiMan]

@staticxfan4life because there is hardly any mufflers on them, well at least ours is that way, and the exhaust tubing is super short

[staticxfan4life]

why are crew boats so loud ???
