Thanks for service, my grandfather always said the 2strokes hit the beach on Normandy as grey marines, powered us through wwII and built the interstate system in North America
More like 8 miles if you lived where I did growing up. My dad drove an old gmc back in the 70's we lived on a hill . My dad would travel mountain top road from work to home . I made sure I was outside.
We use Detroit’s as turbine starters offshore. Once started, they idle for about 20 seconds & then it’s balls to the wall for them for the next 5 minutes. Beautiful noise from the motor & supercharger.
Oh boy, you can't mistake the sound of a Detroit! Back when I was trucking with my dad. One of the trucks he trained me on, had a 8V92. It was a 359 model Peterbilt, flat top. With the double sleeper. About a 83-84 model, with a 15Sp. Fuller O.D. which took getting used to. Because it had the upside down horse shoe pattern from 3rd-4th. and 13th-14th. In 15th gear, you were either lugging or flying!!
We had an old Hatteras with 12v71’s in it. 3am, we’d wake the entire marina up when we’d leave the dock to go fish. Thing ran like a tank though, one of the most solid sport fishers I’ve ever been on. Now we have a Hatteras 56 with CAT C32’s. Lot quieter, but I miss the old Detroits.
My grandad had a 42' Uniflite with twin 6-71s and this video just took me back 35 years. Such a sweet symphony when the two engines were running in synch. It was one of the last heavy hull boats Uniflite built and those jimmys could get that thing up on plane in pretty quick fashion.
That sound and smell when you first fire up a sportfish at about 4 in the morning is something that imprints on your brain. It has been burned into mine for over 50 yrs because I know iam going deep soon...
Awesome. I spent the summer of ‘86 out in Montauk working for my uncle. He had a 42’ Bertram with twin 6V92TA’s. Loved hearing those things sing. Nothing like it
when I was in diesel school way back when they had an 8-V 71 on its stand and did a dry fire. pop off instantly, but me at 19 reach and grab the throttle body and yank the crank. that things roared blew fire about 5 feet and 19 people left the room as the ground shook. I was in love
One of the first bankout wagons I ran had a Detroit. I got in the cab and sat down, started the engine and the guy who owned it and who's rice we were harvesting look at me and loudly said "run it until it sounds like it's going to blow up....then give it some more!" I'll never forget that for as long as I live. That was a fun machine.
A lot of folks trash talk Detroit’s they are one of the most dependable, and easy to work on and maintain diesels ever built . If you were trained to work on one , you could work on almost anything they made.
Depends on the year. Series 60 is a fantastic motor. Loved when those buses were on my run card. Now it’s just Daimler renaming Mercedes engines. I despise the DD15.
If you were to shoot about a half second of ether into each intake silencer, you would save the batteries, save the starter motors, and prevent the knocking which is caused by the accumulation of liquid fuel on the tops of the pistons igniting as the engine finally starts. Of course you'll get all sorts of advice from the "experts" as to how ether will kill the engines, but used properly it doesn't. In the winter I used a quick shot to start a pair of 6-71N's in my boat ( I'm in Canada ) and in the summer it wasn't needed as the air temp went up. They were the advanced cam timing high compression engines, and they would blow a few seconds of light grey smoke on a cold start and nothing more after that. Very nice boat you have.
I randomly clicked on this video for the hell of it and I noticed that it said Weymouth Ma, and I was like “ oh no shit I know where that is!” Becasue I literally live on the cape haha
I have a friend with a 44ft Pacifica that had twin 8V-71s that had a top speed of 19 knots, cruise 15. Through California re-engine program (since he did commercial 6 pack chartering) he qualified for re-engine the boat with twin 500hp Cummins QSC engines. He lost about a ton of weight and his fuel consumption went down to almost half. Remarkably at 7 knots, the two engines combined only burn 2.7 gallons per hour (that's as good as a single engine trawler). He can now cruise at 20 knots and tops at 25 knots.
@@RJ1999x the new electronic engines (with common rail fuel injection) are much more efficient than older mechanical injection. My big rig Caterpillar (14.6 liter) burns about 1 gallon an hour at idle. My friends boat has 8.3 liter ISC Cummins in then. Pull up a propeller curve of that engine and you’ll see the fuel burn
My uncles boat has twin 6V92TAs and was a little slow amd smokey on startup. He's since gotten electric coolant heaters installed to keep the engines somewhat warm and it made a huge difference. Nearly instant startups and no longer smokes out the rest of the harbor on cold mornings
Was on a boat in Hatteras with twin diesels and one ran away about 9 miles offshore on the way in and caught fire and sank. That sound of those engines in sync will forever scare the living shit out of me.
Conversion motors! They convert diesel into noise.
that's what Detroit diesel does best. It's easy to pick out semi's with Detroit power
Stupid.
Lmao i got a brand new star car last year Dd13. i call it the furnace, Converts diesel to heat and noise
@@crunchycrispybacon are you looking in the mirror again?
@@georgebordi8986 haha good one!
Had Detroit's on my boat in Nam. THEY NEVER FAILED US ON ANY OF THE MANY RIVER RUNS WE MADE.
thanks for your serice!
Thank you for your service SIR 💪💪🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🙏🙏God Bless
Thanks for service, my grandfather always said the 2strokes hit the beach on Normandy as grey marines, powered us through wwII and built the interstate system in North America
Believe they were on the PBRs.. and a few other watercraft in that era.. thank you for your service
Would that be a PBR sweetheart?????
There’s diesels, then there’s Detroit Diesels. Pure music.
Those Detroits have such a unique sound. You can tell a Detroit from a mile away.
Sound like a air sucking Yamaha
It sounds like shit. More like a grinder.

@@DieLange-nl They sound exactly as they should. Your ignorance is embarrassing.
@@RealityIsTheNow
Sorry, but here in Europe we are more used to refined engines.
there’s nothing like the sound of twin diesels running full throttle....👍👍👍 thank you for taking us along!
We use Detroit’s as turbine starters offshore. Once started, they idle for about 20 seconds & then it’s balls to the wall for them for the next 5 minutes.
Beautiful noise from the motor & supercharger.
Nothing like waking up to a cup of coffee and the smell of diesel fumes the rest of the day has to be awesome.
Sound engineers would refer to the effect as "phasing". It's a beautiful thing.
There is a better sound of that shit when gets fucking blown up with a ton of C4!!!! Kaboom the best sound I can imagine!

Nothing smells better than a cold 71 in the morning at the marina. Use to love it back in the day. We ran 903’s in the Post.

Those v8s are notorious and handsome the sound is soothing to the soul
Spent years with Detroits in the fire service. My favorite sound is the 8v92.
Something so special and unique about the sound (music actually) of these two stroke diesels.
That sound. One of a kind. Great for naps inside the salon.
Definitely makes for great naps!

Detroit has fast throttle response. You barely mash the foot-feet and she's already screaming. Lol I love them

The sound of 1 DD 2 stroke is great. But twins! It's an orchestra!
2 screaming jimmies awesome sir

They sure are good at turning diesel into noise and leaking oil!

First boat I worked on and got my license on had 8V71 naturals. Love that sound.
She looks ready for a three hour cruise, a three hour cruise.
Tour
@@be5575 Very, very, nice. I stand corrected. This gives me hope for society because people are still familiar with the great old comedies.
As long as Ginger and Maryanne are onboard what more could you need?.
Nothing like the growl of an cold Detroit.
Thanks! I love it.
Sound of Freedom!!!
sounds so peaceful, strong and reliable. so good
Engines are inexcellent shape to not smoke much at cold start!
I was never a huge 8V fan until I heard two of them in unison... very nice sound
Bet it was a comforting sound hearing them scream
Got to love the sound of a 2 stroke diesel at full song.

Piston slap when cold
Thanks for the ride Captain. Beautiful. Noise. Nothing like a Jimmy let alone two 💪💪💪💪💪
Fathers boat has 8v92 ti's and the sound they prpduce is just heavenly
Miss the days of a cold start diesel right away in the morning. Delicious smell.
Nothing like a Detroit Diesel, except 2 of them.
Ahhh, Detroit Diesels, thank-you for the music!!!
Love the sound of the 2-stroke Detroits.
Geez you'd need to make sure you keep your batteries charged up! Those things take allot of turning over to start
I randomly clicked on this video for the hell of it and I noticed that it said Weymouth Ma, and I was like “ oh no shit I know where that is!” Becasue I literally live on the cape haha
2:07 to 2:16 pure music thank you
2:07 Sounds like a big Rolls Royce plane engine at full throttle
Absolutely stunning sound especially from the first engine
Nothing lovely like a good sound for a pair of Detroit engines on full revs 👍👍👍👍👍🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷
The one diesel cold start that doesn't piss off the old guy neighbor.
Need to have BGM pay you a visit and give them a once over.
Absolutely beautiful sound 😍
The fumes,the wake and the screaming detroits ,that's full on happiness
Very cool video, thanks! I was stationed in So. Weymouth 77-81
Beautiful.
Nothing like that in the UK.
I've never heard a detroit with my own ears
There really is nothing like the sound of two diesels running in tandem
Detroit 2 cycles are musical.
Best sounding engines ever! (sorry Harley) Below deck cameras, simply brilliant!
I agree! Theres a few other videos on my channel of the boat and some old generators that also sound like music!
@@car2069 Liked and subscribed. Thanks again for bringing the "dirty dozens" to life.
Beautiful engine. Gorgeous boat ❤

2.7 gallons per hour?
I'm calling bullshit
@@RJ1999x I saw the electronic gallon per hour readout-I was at the helm driving. Now at 23 knots it was 50 gallons per hour.
@@Tchristman100 Means nothing, it's either not calibrated or you read it wrong, 2 500 hp Cummins engines would burn 2 gallons an hour idling
@@RJ1999x the new electronic engines (with common rail fuel injection) are much more efficient than older mechanical injection.

He might be saving fuel but it would probably take years of fuel savings to break even from the swap cost
Most identifiable engine sound out there. Idles just like the LAV with the 6v53T
Lol... exactly the way my 8v71s on my 1979 45' chris craft commander start and sound!! Love it!
Love to hear them under load. Nevermind, watched further. Great vid!
Thanks for watching the whole thing! More will be coming soon!
Great video, I watched it 10x!
Why is this so satisfying? I can’t seem to put it into words for my wife.
That is sweeeeeeeet! Thanks for makin the video! God bless!
Much better suited to marine use than they ever were in heavy duty trucks....I ran a freightliner with a 350 8v71....made me a Cummins fan.
Gotta love that cold Detroit sound
A Detroit cold start with hardly any hunting. Nice to see some well loved Detroit’s.
.... This might be my favorite video on the Internet.
They sound so happy at full chat.

A good tuneup can fix this, did one for a Friend 23 years ago, and it still starts like a dream nomater what the temperature is.
Let’s go fishing! Love them twin diesels reminds me of working on 3208s in a cement boat.
Ah, that's music 👍👍👍
Pretty good for that temperature. Love the cold idle hunt on the starboard engine. Now put the coffee pot on :-)
2:07 Synchronized Detroit diesels - my new ring tone.
Two Stroke Diesels Baby!!
Awesome in a Peterbuilt or the Yacht. 🤠🤠
2:07 sounds so good!
This is a great and unique video!
Was on a boat in Hatteras with twin diesels and one ran away about 9 miles offshore on the way in and caught fire and sank. That sound of those engines in sync will forever scare the living shit out of me.
Damn! Crazy. Hope mine never burn
Sounds like a quiet day out on the water!
Great video!!!!!!!! Those motors are music .
Gotta love the oil slicks on cold starts…🤠
Man that's the sound of joy
My dad had the same engine in his Prevost bus.. sounded exactly the same!
Beautiful boat and she sounds awesome
Thank you!
This is ASMR if ever I heard it👍
So cool never knew some boats had dual Detroit’s
I want a Detroit to start early in the morning so my neighbors can enjoy the sweet sound of a screaming jimmy to start their day
They clean up nice. I've got a 72 45C
Beautiful sound from a diesel inboard motor
thumbs up for the lovely sound.
I am in the UK and if I had that engine in my boat I would cream my knickers, sounds like something that`s meant to fly
Music to my ears😍
That DD sound put me to sleep, love it!!!
Only clicked on this video cause I’m from Weymouth, England!
Sounds like a symphony to me!!!
Amazing sound.
Music to my ears!!
Detroit diesel best Engine made
Absolutely beautiful
Love too see the tach's!!!!
Only 3800 hours. They will go forever my friend, take care of them.
Those are legend engines
That humming diesel makes me want to take a nap.
The noise in that engine room at WOT must be horrific, used to run a fire engine with a Detroit, could hear it a mile away
music to my ears!!!
