A displacement boat burning 2-5GPH hardly needs a turbo.


How is the boat operated?
This is a good question? I have twin 210 cummins in my 1996 36' Island Gyspy. I rarely run them at higher speeds. Although they are operating well now. If or when I need to repair a turbo or other exhaust component, can I do away with the turbos and just run them naturally aspirated? The trim tabs will go then also. Don't want to highjack this thread but if anyone knows the answer they can post or pm me. Thanks John
