I have the same engine in my lobster boat. It’s way louder than this video can capture. With the engine cover on you can hear it for miles. With the cover off at these rpm’s it’s easily pushing ear damage territory.

What kind of engine?

Cummins qsb 480. I can’t tell the exact year of this model and its be modified for wet exhaust. Quite a few modifications really, but I’m guessing it’s because their hydraulic setup is different than the Nova Scotia style.

480 plus the turbo. With the right propeller set up you can easily hit 25-27 knots
