New engine coming for the 28TE?

Post by DougSea »

Had an interesting conversation with Ken Hilton at the Norwalk Boat Show. We were talking about the new 28 from C&C he had there and started discussing engine options. He mentioned that the 6 cylinder Yanmar 315hp would be going away next year. The new engine is a V8 320hp and there's a 370Hp varient as well. He was unsure about how Albin would shoehorn it in. Same height but, as a V8, it's a bit stockier.

I did a little searching around and found this: http://www.yanmarmarine.com/index.cfm/g ... ngine-8LV/

I know there was/is a 370 Cummins option, however this engine weights quite a bit less and could push a 28 to some pretty good speeds. I'll be following this story as it develops.
