YourFreeness I can only imagine! Totally not the kind of power they were built for way back, but you guys did a great job! Must be a blast to see the looks on people's faces at the marina.
Hi there, I’m also building a speed boat using a bmw engine (m57 from an e46 330d with a stand-alone ecu) I’ve done plenty of research and most people seem to think the alpha isn’t a strong enough gearbox, I am just wondering how yours is holding up? I’m planning to use the slightly older mc1 which in lead to believe is pretty much an alpha. Thanks
An Alpha One *GEN II* can handle a 5.7 V8,no problem with that 3000 cc; the old one (gen I) is a bit small ,if you push the turbo to 1 bar,but the GEN II has a bigger head on top,just keep the gear oil clean every year, and i would also absolutely install a *Drive Shower* ,home made; without it,the top WILL overheat,the oil will turn black,it's the end.
står selv og skal til at gøre det samme som du har gjort med bmw motor med mit gen1 alpha drev har du nogen gode råd inde jeg går igang havde tænkt mig en 3.0d men hvilken årgang motor er det i har sat i den fede båd i lavet der
We converted the engine and couple the driveline as part of a projector for our mechanical engineering. We cut an old E34 gearbox up, and made an adapter plate for the transum. The coupling for the transum is mounted by 3 bolts. We meassured the center of the flywheel on the E36 engine, and drilled 3 holes, and threaded them.
very cool.. i have a dream of repowering a 35'-37' boat with two bi-turbo Audi V8's or a 27-30 foot boat with two bi-turbo 2.7 Audi's v6's ..way smaller and lighter than the huge fuel drinking GM big blocks everyone seems to use ..and a lot of HP n TQ
We are sailing inshore, with a support boat, on a clear day :D If you swim 100m, from where we were sailing, you would be able to stand on shallow water

Great video, love it. Thanks for having the speed in KM/H.
Nice Setup!
You two are awesome!!!
From Denmark. Fed båd
Great work guys
About 42knots. The acc was good, you could probably go up 2 sizes in prop, would give about 50knots. Well done!
Den går godt ☺️👍 hvor meget bruger den i timen ved blandet sejllads? Mvh
hello, what transmission did you use and what ratio? I used a volvo penta dp290 after a v8 gasoline engine and it doesn't work
Super!
What drive Do you use Volvo Penta? Prop pitch and diameeter?
Can I ask what size of prop? Thanks you.
Dudes that is awesome
Hi guys. What is the stern drive drive gear ratio you have? And what propeller? Thank you
What Ratio and Propeller do you have?
pretty sweet for an old glastron!
We had to reinforce the hull, so it can handle the waves better. The whole hull was flexing under full speed.

Can we see what the rest of the boat looks like?

Did you manage to fit the m57

Is that in Denmark? lots of room, what lake or river?
What's it like on fuel?
what about a M67D44TU swap?
hvad kan den sejle på toppen
how's the boat running today
wait for it.... wait for it.... wait for iiiiiit! No..
But cool boat

Woowww.....
