12V CUmmins in an Airboat??

What are your opions on putting a Cummins into an airboat? A buddy and myself are toying with the idea, but we keep coming back to the weight issue and lag for this application.

Does anyone know what exactly a fully dressed 12V weighs? I was thinking around 1000-1100 pounds.

We were thinking twins around the 500-600HP mark for this application. Key to this is quick throttle response and power

Just thought I would throw it out there.

Thanks
