Reman 6BTA's

Post by Mitch »

A guy at the boatyard is looking for a pair of remans for his Black Watch. Anyone know of a supplier on the east coast, with good pricing and dependable sales rep. It's going to Mass.

Mitch...

I have a Cummins guy who has the best prices on remans of anyone.. he has already sold one set to a B33 buddy. I asked him last week about present pricing so I have the current info. Drop me an email (IRGuy@aol.com) and we can discuss.

These guys rebuilt my CATs but they do cummins as well.

Try T&S in Crisfield MD, they'll ship anyware.

DeMann Marine in Wilmington, NC or Seaboard Marine in CA (Tony Athens) are great to deal with for rebuilt/reman Cummins. Both can crate and ship anywhere in the US.

I tried to send you a private message, not sure if it went through. If you get a chance could you please send me a price list? or phone number? My Yanmar deal blew up in my face.

Thanks

Scott,

If I could make them fit, then I'd go for it. I have the Cabrera engine boxes and they're kind of low to begin with. That smooth ride is hard to beat.

Thanks

I've been reading your posts and remember your boat from Port Eads. The 300+ Yannis you were looking at are wrong for your boat...as are Detroits.
The perfect engines for your Bahia Mar are the Cummins 6BT 250's. You will cruise at 24+ as you are lighter than the flybridge cruiser. Parts, mechanics, site advice and long life come with those engines. You're overthinking the project. My two cents. Walter

Good advise Walter. If I am going to go the Cummins route I will probably stick with the 210's. No turbo or after cooler to deal with. My boat will be extremely light and the seas will not allow a 25 knot cruise where I live. I thought I had the Yanmars bought but things did not work out. I have about 3 - 4 months to make a decision.

Thanks

John

John, the 210's do have turbos, just a smaller turbo that the 250's and up - but you are right about no aftercooler. Most people I know have had great luck with them, but Durwood ruined a set fairly quickly, replaced them with slighly newer 215's that he's had good luck with. He gave up on the common-rail truck engines due to computer problems, so those engines are available if you were interested. Price might be right.
