Oh I see. I used to work for a big construction company that had a gradeall that somebody said had the 5.9 in the diggin part of the machine and a big cam in the truck part.
Stands to reason. The engine was developed for Ag.

Also popular in stand alone hydrolic units and boats.
I dont remember if it was on this forum or general diesel or where but somebody was marinizing an IDI 6.9 for a bolt would like to see how that worked out.

We had two users in here with IDI's in boats.
Wellcraft was one, his had twin 7.3 turbo engines.
I can't remember the other users handle and I think he only had a single 7.3 turbo.
Spectramac was thinking about building a diesel jet boat out of a 6.9 turbo, but he has not been here for a year or more.

Catfish101, where abouts in KY do you live, my brother lives in KY in a little town called Argilite and we fish the Ohio river several times a year, he fishes it about every two weeks or when ever he makes it home (he is a truck driver). We just fished there during Thanksgiving.

I haven't ever fished that stretch you guys are on. I have been invited several times to fish Cinn. area but haven't.
Are guys catching very many Blues up that way? The farther North you go Flatheads and Channels are more popular. Seems like the bigger blues run on the Southern stretches more. Or there seems to be more of them down that way.
Now through March is the best time for big Blues. They like cold weather.
I could talk fishing for days. Needless to say I am eat up with it.

Jack Frost talked him into trying a Dodge. Well the motor is still running but the balljoints and most of the other front end parts fell off.

Catfish,
We have not been on that section of river, we usualy don't go that far west of us, we are only about 30 miles west of Ashland. There are still some pretty good blues that run in this stretch but you are right mostly big flats but we normally target hybrids and walleye hybrids in that area we fish. We have caught some 10 pounds and better striper hybrids around that locks we fish.

Yeah his reindeer pull the sleigh but he renamed all eight of them.
Seein'z how there's eight of them he was just gonna call the whole group HEMI but he decided it would be too confusing so he gave them each there own unique name.
There's 'Cuda, Charger, Ram, Omni (can't figure that one out, must be the runt of the bunch), Belvedere, Wedge, Six-Pack (must be a drinker), and last but not least: Air Grabber (I think he's the one who taught the others to fly).
That's how he gets his deliveries done in time you see, he MOPowered!
I heard he renamed Rudolph PowerStroke 'cuz he was always the black sheep of the group and he doesn't always use him anyway.
Some might say it's because he leads the way in poor weather but I think it's easier for the other reindeer to follow all the rattling and smoke.
