[QUOTE="lavacarancher, post: 1227597, member: 9198"] We had a couple of old machinist mates at the Coast guard repair station in New Orleans that really liked tinkering with the engines. The 40 footers we were running at the time had twin 6-71's that could not keep up with the hot rod boaters on Lake Ponchartrain so the two old codgers took one of the 40's and slipped in a couple of much massaged 6-110's. When they got through the 40 would run about 40 mph. Of course the boat could double as a smoke screen generator but they were fast. Then the CG received a 30 footer with twin Cummins V8's. They were not quite as fast but good enough to quieten down the Lake front. [/QUOTE]
