[Vwdiesel] TDI in a boat?

[David Cook]

Hey all-

Just bought an old Mark Twain Boat with a Mercruiser
I/O motor.

I noticed that the max RPM is somewhere around 4500 or
so, so I got to thinking...

Any chance a TDI could power a motor boat?  Would it
get upset running at that RPM (or a little lower) for
several minutes at a time?  I'm thinking with larger
injectors and maybe a boost upgrade, it would make
similar HP (120) and could run in a similar manner.

It'd be cool to run a boat off veggie oil!
