Here is an Malibu that they put a diesel in:
MarineDiesel is changing the face of towed watersports with their supercharged V8 diesel engine.
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
June 7, 2004
Although the diesel market has quickly been closing the performance gap between gas and diesel marine engines. To date the Ski & Wake Board boat market has seen little exposure to true diesel torque. That is until now! Because of MarineDiesel’s unique low-rpm torue characteristics we can enthusiastically claim that we offer the only diesel engine suited perfectly for the Ski & Wake Board industry. Because of this fact, MarineDiesel’s recent North & South American product availability certainly hasn’t gone unnoticed.
The MarineDiesel product is the only V8 configured product that matches the mounting configuration of the standard 350/454 gas engines which are the norm for the Tow Sport industry. What does this mean to the consumer? The opportunity has finally arrived in which they can specify their desired boat be built with diesel propulsion, while not requiring the boat builder to make countless changes accommodating the the diesel option. Along with it’s packaging benefits the intercooled/supercharged MarineDiesel product offers the extreme low end torque required in Tow Sport applications. Other competitive smaller displacement turbo charged diesel’s simply don’t compare. Before MarineDiesel entered the market the main issue faced was that while competitive inline 4 cylinder engine configurations can package in the standard ski boat (with modifications) they simply don’t produce the required torque. Competitive inline 6 cylinder engines, although offering better torque than the 4 cylinder engines, simply will not package properly. As compared to the V8 configuration of the MarineDiesel the competitive inline 6 cylinder engines don’t offer the “Supercharged” low-rpm torque characteristics of the MarineDiesel.
MarineDiesel offers the first Ski & Wakeboard diesel propulsion system that matches the performance (both acceleration and top speed) of the 300+ Hp small V8 gas engine options while yielding 35%-40% savings in fuel consumption. At todays increasing gas prices who can’t afford to explore the opportunities?
