The perfect addition to your Cummins powered truck,
is a Cummins powered boat.

This looks to be a mini-tug.

I wonder if you could make the boat faster by reworking the impellers or add a planetary gearbox?

How similar would these be to our truck engines, standard marine variant?

Lots of fishing boats up here like that. They use them for net tenders.

 

My wife's adopted sister's birth father.....we just call him Uncle Rob has a twin Cummins powered, 2- speed transed Day cruiser he converted from a Yacht(that burned) into a sweet laker.

At 36' its pretty sweet. Twin big rig Cummins and twin two speed reversing marine transmissions all for 10 grand.

 

^^^^ now thats a boat! ^^^^

 

That would be awesome on Flathead lake.

 

Not sure he'd let me bring it over....

He thinks it'll hit Lake Washington soon. He cut off the upper bridges that burned and made it a single deck with an open arched canopy like hard top.

Lined the hull with that matting you fiberglass in and made a sweet aft cabin for he and the wife...that hull feels like concrete when you slap the sides.

I'll try to get a few pics...

 

There is one on Ft Jackson for sale in the DRMO lot. Don't think I haven't been looking at it...
