With an incredible 20% increase in power output, the C32B Triple Turbo engine leverages the same core engine upgrades as the C32B 2025 MHP rating while offering additional features and benefits.  The C32B 3-Turbo is ideal for yachting, sportfishing, and governmental applications. Compared to the C32B 2025 MHP model, the new engine has an updated cooling system and a new sequential (3-turbo) air system that delivers faster response and better performance. Additional options include extended oil change intervals, full MCS certification, including duplex filtration, and a cosmetic engine cover.
