- GTO Performance Airboats partnered with Cummins Power to create the first factory Cummins powered airboat using the 6.7 liter QSB turbo diesel engine. Creating a great commercial application airboat that is quiet and fuel efficient.
could we hear the boat and not the music please?
Less music more engine sound
Sorry about previous comment,someone was on our computer that did not know anything about airboats,,,We think it is really a well designed air-boat,And teamed with the cummins 6.7 was the only engine to have.,We have one in a 3500 dodge,,Power is awesome,Fuel usage is well over 20 mpg,always cold starts .....Keep up with the good work,Whatever your paying the people that dreamed this one up,is not enough.
I dont want to hear the music I wanna hear the engines
Yeah drop the music please !
It's gotta sound grrreat!

I have new design for air boat, motor on front , good for cargo boat ? Im
Agree to diesel performance no over heat,,?thank you to video, god bless,,s
Engine part How much horsepower?
looks like a 5.9 cummins so around 325HP, if its turned up and still meant to be practical it could be more like 500HP but im pretty sure its stock
Quieter operation eh? Well I guess I'll just take your word for it, I wouldn't know from the video ...
What makes you think we want to hear some stupid music when Cummins makes the best music-REALLY?
Ear Pollution......Music Noise instead of Engine and Prop Sounds. You think people want to hear your lame music who are interested in a Diesel Airboat?
О чём видео?
Diesel is good for applications that require low rpm torque - this isn't one of them. I don't see the point of a diesel engine here, it just adds weight. And it doesn't sound that good on the other video either.
but you see, there are such things as gear boxes, so that "low rpm" becomes a much higher rpm more like 5000 to 8000 RPM while the engine still runs at 1500 RPM so you burn a LOT less fuel thus increasing the range this boat can go, which is a big thing for watercraft, plus props actually dont needs to spin nearly as fast as you would think for them to produce a lot of thrust.
The diesel isnt nearly heavy for that to be a realistic problem, to get torque rating from a gas engine it would weigh about the same and the gas would tend to overheat, plus it would be significantly more fuel, and the diesel would still make much more torque at any rpm, not just low rpm (thats any diesel)
@@leosypher9993 With a centre of gravity as high as it is in airboats I imagine you'd want as light an engine as possible, not some quarter ton lump. Plus more weight = more drag in the water and slower acceleration. But yeah, fuel efficiency is diesels ace card.
