Should We Save Our 1969 Detroit Diesel 12V71 Engines?

When we bought our 1969 Stephens Bros aluminum yacht, she came with a pair of Detroit Diesel 12v71 engines—big, leaky, and loud. Known as "Screaming Jimmys," they were tough, but after years of unknown maintenance and gallons of oil ending up in the bilge, we had to make a choice: rebuild or repower? In this episode, we take you through the decision-making process, the challenges of keeping old diesel engines running, and what ultimately pushed us to replace them. Blaine, with his background in aviation, superyacht engineering, and performance automotive work, explored all options before deciding on a modern repower. But was it the right call? What would you have done? Join us as we break down the pros and cons, discuss the real cost of rebuilding versus repowering, and reveal what we chose to do with Tangaroa.
