Don't think my 115 would churn that thing!

I wonder what pitch it is????

Very cool...

1720CC upgrade

Thinking of putting one of these in my 1720CC. Do you think I'll need to move the console forward to prevent the scuppers taking on too much water?

Might have to build a piece on....lol

They have Maintenance motors on them for turning them over for repair work. They move the engine very, very, slowly.

I wonders how many Hp is the Maintenance motor?

Un-real!!

I guess they "computer" balance the crank. It'd be kinda difficult spinning that crank at high speed..

Those engines do not turn at high speed, or even near high speed.

I think around 80-100 rpm flat out...

Imagine what HP you would get if you ran that engine at more conventional speed of 5000rpm. At 50 times more how fast would that Maersk go?

Probably fast enough to fold the hull. Navy engineer once told me aircraft carriers could go much faster than they do. The worry is that the hull will fail from pressure at some point.

Those big container ship diesels shake the waterfront here when they pass River Street. It worries me standing next to the old buildings.

It's not quite as simple as adding more power gives more speed, displacement hulls have an almost "set" speed, and putting 10 times the HP, might increase speed by a tiny amount, but strange things start to happen, the boat does not just start planing, in fact, most just drive deeper into the water, more power is needed for cargo carrying, not speed.

It says 110,000 HP at 102 RPM will give her 27 knots max speed...

you could water ski at 27 or a lot of people could, but it would be hard to get up on top with the slow acceleration and you would need a very long rope

A wakeboarder might have a big time with that ship at 27 knots. Long line for sure. Probably have to ride in on a jet ski and grab the handle. Would make a good Monster Energy video. How big a wake going 27 knots?
