Tamd 300 in a 38 ft

Will the boat be under powered ie rodman 38

Assuming you mean its a single engine boat, it wont be fast.

What weight of boat and single or twin?

It’s twin on shafts

It’s twin on shafts

. If it's twin suspect it will be fine to cruise at 18 plus but test it. Nothing worse than a revving strained engine

my rodman 38 has twin kamd 300s
fastest boat onto the plane I have ever owned, even when heavily fouled - love the superchargers
loads of room around the engines, you can get at everything easily.
top speed 25/26knts
cruise 18 -20
lovely ride very deep V hull.

Kashurst says it with experience.

TAMD 300 great engine if looked after well, check the oil coolers carefully for any water leaks, if any found at a;ll remove both disassemble and inspect.

Were those boats built with the TAMD 63L 218 hp or the 63P 370hp, the 63 is quite a bit heavier though.

Wrong way round?

Lightly loaded diesel hitting max revs is happy.

Heavily loaded, dirty bottom, junk on board, wrong prop, sad diesel.

Always thought Rodman were underrated and as I have said on here before I love the 1250 pro fisher.

I believe they will hit 30 knts easily - should do 740hp pushing 9 tons. There is an MBY review available.
