Looking to get a little more HP on a tour boat. I have been running the 6BT 210 recon from Cummins. I have had bad luck over last 5 years had to repower twice. Both times I have had head gasket issues and leaky injector pumps at low hours around 2K . Anyway looking into the 6BTA 260 because it has a different injector pump and a little more HP that may lessen the load. I was unsure of exhaust size differences between the 210 vs 260 and was wondering if it was the same. This is not a high performance boat we chug around and look at the sights so we should be getting a lot of hours out of the motor. When I first built the boat cummins suggested the b210 and were not willing to go with a QSB because of exhaust concerns I was unaware of the higher HP choices in the 6B until recently when I saw the recon choices on your site. Anyway just looking at options

Just an FYI..
1—–The 330/370 version are lower profile than the 260/270Ā versions (basically theĀ same as you have now)
2—-With the 370 version, it is very easy for us to limit the HP to the 250-280 HP range ( we do it allĀ the time) when a operator wants the extended RPM rangeĀ for better vessel control,Ā a quieter engine, but NOT the extra HP or fuel consumption
3—The cost of the 330/370 is actually the less or the same as the 260-270 version do the the very low manufacturing volume of the 260/270.
