New truckable tug features twin diesel outboards

Diesel outboard motor technology is disrupting the industry with increased reliability, torque, and fuel efficiency over traditional gasoline powered outboards, says Silverback. The River Ox will feature twin, 300 hp OXE diesels for a combined 600 hp., with only 38 inches of draft, making the vessel well suited for shallow bay or river operations, yet featuring the hull stability required for use in moderate to mid sea states.
