      August 16, 2017 at 11:50 am Hi All, last weekend I tried to start my 6BTA5.9-M2 300’s (CPL1613) but couldn’t start the starboard engine. I began by turning both switches to the ON position to check the warning alarms and let the Aetna digital tachs ‘boot’. Everything looked and sounded normal, so I started the port engine.

      June 18, 2021 at 3:39 pm Howdy all, I bought this boat with a pair of 300hp 3600RPM GM 6.5L supercharged diesels, Hurth 630 A 2:1 gears and 20×22 props. Im going to re-power, looking at a pair of Cummins 6BTA 210hp and using my same gears and props. I have 2″ freshwater thru hulls and 5″ exhaust. Please let me know if you see any potential problems with this set-up. The boat is the same hull as the Wellcraft Coastal, approx weight 16000lbs. Thank you!

      June 29, 2021 at 9:17 pm Jeff, I have a 1995 3300 Coastal with tower. It should be very comparable to your Sports Bridge. Last time on the lift the weight was more like ~17,000# with light fuel and water. Mine had the same GM 6.5’s which were subsequently replaced with 6BTA 300 CPL 1613’s. 300hp@2,800rpm. The transmissions were replaced with ZF-63A’s with 1.56:1 ratios. The propellers are 3 blade Michigan Dyna Jet Nibral 20″ x 19″ wit…
