@McMahon1985

old engines seem more interesting to me.

especially 1st diesel locos, like the ingersol rand loco of 1919 or there abouts, only 300hp I think, driver sat next to engine!

She roared to life alright! Seamed to be cleaning up nice just in the 40 seconds of video.

Now in my opinion, you need a nice old Hull to drop it in!~ <.<

@SpiritsoftheWolf This is small by marine standards.

look for the Wartsila Sulzer RT96-C produces over 81K Kw

[SpiritsoftheWolf]

Sounds good, especially considering it's age and the fact that its restoration is still a work in progress.
