Title is clickbait, the engine is indeed massive but it's perfectly adequate for the boat. The way it's maintained and operated by a master crew, makes me want to ride it ! I see no danger here. Thailand is on another level :)

I see the massive v8 diesel truck engine, but I don't see the "tiny boat". That boat is at least 50 feet long. Hardly tiny. And where is the "dangerous" part of the engine. There's nothing uncommon about the way this engine is installed and the captain is an obviously knowledgeable and well experienced engineer. Headline is starting to look like clickbait. You make it sound like everyone is holding on for dear life while they rip up and down the river at breakneck speeds. Obviously, the engine is well matched to the boat as evidenced by the routine travel and docking.

I was strangely impressed by that outfit. By example, that sort of boat is usually caned up and down river at insane speed, with little or no thought given to safety, but that vessel was clearly part of a fleet and that example was definitely taking its responsibilities seriously. Everything was neat, tidy and freshly painted. The engine was literally a jewel. A huge jewel, it is true, but everything about it said "care." The crew all had uniforms and handled the boat with precision and teamwork as was the loading and unloading. Certainly, the engine was not being stressed and it took me a while to work out where the throttle was! It was the steel cable from the fuel control unit to the 'turk's head' around the port side steering arm. The skipper pulled on the cablet until he got the revs he wanted, then twisted the turks head until the cable was tight - simple, elegant and almost fool proof. I think the big green lever on the starboard side of the engine was the reverser. And did you notice things were beautifully balanced so almost no steering input was required? He did put a pin in the support bar, but it wasn't even touching the steering arm most of the time. Well done guys, I would love to travel on your ferry and would feel safe and in professional hands.

@gowdsake7103 first off that's tiller steer with mud motor style shaft. It's a very common practice with small engines even here in the united states, as far as engine exposure, they have race boats with the engine open and setting right behind the operator, I live at lake of the ozarks, we have no size limit or speed limit so I see all different types of boats, outboards are literally exposed engine, that little plastic cowl that covers it isn't gonna stop jack if that thing decides to desenograte into hot metal soup, these guys did an awesome job with the resources they have, more then u ever dreamed of building urself

That is the biggest longtail setup I've ever seen, but it looks very well balanced. The crew obviously takes pride in their boat. Everything was clean, and that motor was detailed to the max. Really a beautiful piece of equipment. BTW, I love the air bleed on the heat exchanger. 😂 I'd think it could be made much easier to operate with a simple cable and pulley steering system though. It would be easy to design and install, and along with a remote throttle and shift cable would make operation much easier and safer.

I lived in Thailand for a year in the mid 70s. We would take the train from Nakhon Ratchisima to Ayutthaya to visit my Thai friend and his family. We rode the smaller long tail water taxis on the Chao Phraya river quite often. There's a lot of skill to maneuvering those boats and my hat's off to the pilot of this craft.
