Grand Banks- & a Lugger L668D - John Deere 6068

Go for it. --


Lugers are John Deere engines with their marine package on it.

Very reliable, good power to weight ratio. Parts available world wide.

Lugger's & John Deere's are Standard equipment in Nordhavn & Kadey-Krogen boats, which speaks well for them as that is good company.

I have run a John Deere 6068 engine hard & have been very happy with it.

Keep the diesel fuel clean by using 2 micron fuel filters & they are very happy at 1500 RPM & 1800 RPM & can run there all day & all night for days on end.

It is a good combo.


Cruise of 7.2 knots continuous at S/L ratio of 1.2 --
if your OK with that - go for it.


Top speed of 8 knots.

Have fun.
