I’ve really enjoyed this conversation, gentlemen. A trip down memory lane. I wonder if the OP made any progress?

What color are the 60 series or the DD15s?
I've never had a boat with a diesel engine. Had a couple with Mercury-Kiekhaefer outboards that ran very well and they too were two stroke engines. Kinda miss pulling bikini clad young ladies out of the lake on skis too.....
With all the other junk you have laying around, what happened no diesel powered yacht?
What was the old saying - "The only days you enjoy a boat are the one you buy it and the one you sell it" or something like that.?I had the boat experience. The Letters BOAT stand for "Bring On Another Thousand"
Gosh you fellas have been having a field day while I've been gone The truck has been away getting a brake re line on the trailer so have not done anything else to it yet but I appreciate all the ideas and will keep you posted. In response to some of the posts about the Detroit I know that they are an old outa date engine but I still love them. I grew up listening to my father's 6V53 with twin stacks roaring, all 210hp of it, that truck did so much work and often pulling a trailer, never let him down. I now run 4 TS14B scrapers all 471 Detroit's, I never get sick of operating and listening to them work, we rebuilt a rear engine last year, it had worn itself out completely, god knows how many hours that engine had done. I like to steer clear of electronic engines and transmissions if possible, the old saying 'KISS' works for us - most of the time
