CAT C18 high-performance is the 50-70 ft sportfish step below the C32: 803-1136 bhp, 18.1 litre in-line six, 4,000-4,299 lb dry on Caterpillar's high-performance page. Twin C18s are a Viking 54 / 58 and Hatteras GT60 conversation at Lauderdale Marine Center, not a Yellowfin 42 outboard swap. Compare against C32 when the hull already wants 1600 bhp per side. New River yards will take the engines; SE 3rd still ends a tower-up inbound. We do not invent a dealer invoice. Harbor Beach geometry is the overlay.
