MASTERWITCHDOCTOR I will never doupt the hull of the 43 Torres is the 1271 and the little amount of torque they make that I doupt, now if you talk about a C18 or a 3412 or C32 then your talking the 43 is my favorite hull and the fastest hull for lobster and crabbing.

[stnghgg05]

@MasterWitchDoctor I grew up on a 43 Torres and like Everglade City, my hometown Marathon has many of the fastest 43 in Florida and you probably already know that, if you know what I mean, would you like me to mention a few FAST 43's or will the OVERDUE do it for you? and as a matter of fact I know Cluady Torres personally.

@stnghgg05 My boat the Capt' Peg Leg along with the Good Luck, Carrie Lynn, Tuffer N Me too, and several other 43' Torress hulls would all run 30+ knots light, 22 knots loaded. The boat is in Everglades City. If you know anything about the south west Florida coast, Everglades City's history in general you will understand. Doubting it shows me you don't know much about a 43' Torress hull and what they where built for, Stone Crabbing and craw fishing wasn't it, that I assure you.

@MasterWitchDoctor  I really doupt that a 43 with a 1271 840 hp with 500 crab traps will do 22 knots, where is your boat I would love to see it, how many lobster traps can you plane with that boat?

@fredericia01....If it was 92series, it would have 4valve covers...not two, because unlike the 12v71...the 12v92 was comprised of Two seperate 6v92's joined together. The 12v71 was the only engine produced by Detroit consisting of more than 8 cylinders that was designed and cast as single block and having a True V12 firing order, ALL the others, in all series, 53,71,

92 and 149's used two seperate engines to make one.

[MasterWitchDoctor]

You never ever bore a 71 or 92 series sleeve, you replace them. They insert into the block and have an o-ring at the top under the cylinder head to seal the compression. Mine is a Key Power 12v71 TI as in turbo charged (twin) with inter-coolers mounted on the blowers. Output is 840 hp @ 2400 rpm. Its in a 43 foot Torres hull with a twin disc 2:1 gear. light it runs 30+ knots, loaded 22 knots with 500 80 lb (40,000 lbs) stone crap traps on the deck.

[MasterWitchDoctor]

There is a very easy way to identify the 12v71 and 12v92 just by looking at them. The 12v71 has inline 6 71 heads, the 12v92 has 4 6v92 heads. The 12v71 TI I have in my boat (43 foot Torres Key West hull) was built by Key power in Miami. It's rating was 840 hp @ 2400 rpm. according to Key power this is the highest out of a twin turbo. The 900 hp turbo 12 has 4 turbo chargers. FYI my boat ran 30+ knots, planed 40,000 lbs and ran 22 knots fully loaded and burned 30 gallons per hour.
