We Need to REMOVE 2 DETROIT 12v71s! Your Questions Answered!

In this episode of Your Questions Answered, we're responding to the top viewer comments from last Sunday's video, We Need to CUT HOLES to REMOVE 2 DETROIT 12V71s. We're answering your questions about cutting open our 78' aluminum yacht, removing the dry stack exhaust, and building a DIY gantry system to handle two 5,000-pound Detroit Diesel 12V71 engines. Viewers asked about the bondo on the roof, how we handled the steel exhaust pipes, what kind of reinforcement we used for the gantry, and whether we ran into any unexpected challenges with the hatches or structure. Blaine's answering it all-firsthand, from the engine room. This is a must-watch for anyone interested in boat repower projects, Detroit Diesel marine engines, or just learning what it takes to prep a big boat for serious mechanical work. It's all part of our larger mission to repower Tangaroa with twin Cummins 6.7 engines-and we're doing it all ourselves. #DetroitDiesel #BoatRefit #Cummins ?
