Hello , first post. I have 4 Detroit Diesel engines, 8V- 71TI . I have been reading up on them and have conflicting information. The specs from the manufacturer say the have 600 hp each. They each run a 360 degree jet propulsion system. They were built for Navy barges. I have always heard that the hp was closer to 325 - 425. Could these have 600hp each? Any info would be helpful. They were built in 1994. They have about 1400 hours each. Thanks
