Engine: Cummins QSB6.7 480hp

Cummins presented the new QSB6.7 at the latest 2012 Miami boat show.  This new engine offers better performance, improved sociability, and improved operations over Cummins beloved QSB5.9 model, all without sacrificing fuel economy. The initial launch of the QSB6.7 will provide both commercial and recreational ratings from 380 up to 480 hp.  The Cummins QSB6.7 provides more torque, which means better acceleration and maintained speed through turns. A pair of QSB5.9 480 hp engines installed in a pod-driven 44 feet express cruiser test boat accelerated the boat to 20 mph in 14 seconds, while the same boat powered by QSB6.7 480 hp engines accelerated to 20 mph in just 8 seconds, with little change to the legendary QSB fuel economy. The QSB6.7 also employs a new fuel calibration strategy: Unlike most marine engines, the QSB6.7 is calibrated for optimal fuel economy at cruising speeds, where the engine is most often used, rather than at wide-open throttle.  The QSB6.7 is sociably improved, capable of meeting EPA Tier 3 emissions standards. This new engine offers exceptionally low cold-start smoke levels, and significant sound reduction at cruise and rated speeds compared to the QSB5.9.  Operationally the QSB6.7 has improved with loads of new features. The standard fuel system is compatible with low lubricity fuels. With the use of Ultra Low Sulfur Diesel this engine offers extended oil change intervals, providing fewer oil changes and more time on the water. Another notable feature of the QSB6.7 is the PTO capability. The power steering and hydraulic pumps are gear driven, providing a substantial reliability improvement over belt-driven systems. For accessories that must be belt driven, such as a clutched Freon compressor, there is an additional belt driven PTO location above the seawater pump.

Engine: Volvo D6-400 400hp

Volvo Penta invented the high-performance diesel sterndrive in 1977 and has been the undisputed market leader in this constantly expanding segment ever since. The latest addition confirms this position: a 400 hp version of the D6 engine, matched with a refined DPH Duoprop drive which equals to be the current world’s most powerful diesel sterndrive.  Back in 1977, the high performance diesel sterndrive was launched in the form of Volvo Penta’s D40 with single prop drive. A mere 125 hp powered boats such as the Sunseeker 23 DC. The launch of Duoprop and the compressor concept quickly made Volvo Penta the first choice for diesel sport performance.  The D6-400 engine is based on the proven design of the IPS600 engine. Compared to the current D6-370, the 400-version has supercharging with a larger turbo and a tuned mechanical compressor. The charge air cooler has increased capacity to handle the increased flow, and the cooling system has a new heat exchanger and improved oil cooling. The combustion chamber features modified design, a new valve position and increased capacity injectors. The efficient combustion leads to low overall emissions.  Torque is also important in the new D6-400 and this is where the Volvo Penta compressor concept excels by producing charge air, and thereby a massive torque directly from low rpms. The D6-370 is today unmatched and the new D6-400 is 10 % better. Already at 2000 rpm it reaches its maximum torque of 970 Nm – enough to produce safe and fast acceleration onto the plane for great driving enjoyment.  Another Volvo Penta specialty is to develop engine, drive and propellers as a package, rather than separate components. This is essential to transform the torque and power to acceleration, top speed and driving pleasure. The DPH Duoprop drive was introduced in 2003 as the strongest and most efficient sterndrive ever. To handle the D6-400 while still maintaining a slim and efficient underwater body, Volvo Penta developed new technology.  The upper unit comes with a new bearing box with a new roller bearing, a reinforced suspension fork and redesigned gear geometry. The lower unit features gear with geometry developed by Volvo Penta and made from unique super-high tensile steel with efficient lubrication. Lubrication has also been redesigned to ensure that the drive can handle the tremendous forces with high reliability.
