Our fueling tanker, MV Reiss Marine, was powered by a pair of 12-V 149 Detroits. It also had two 6-71 Detroits for electric power and pumping. It would transfer 1,000 gallons of hot oil a minute. The tanker would put on fuel while the ore carrier was loading and a complete fill was about 65 or 70 minutes.

Wife and I have two boats here in Missouri. We have a Princecraft aluminum fishing boat with a Canadian top enclosure so we can go out on chilly days. It has a 115 4 stroke Merc OB.
We also have a Playcraft three log pontoon with a 225 Honda OB. The pontoon will do 55 mph and the three long set up handles big rollers and swells put up by bigger boats.
