Pre-Overhaul Condition – Raw, Unfiltered Footage This is a behind-the-scenes look at the engine room of the Kelley Fleet, a well-known party/head boat used for tourist fishing trips off the coast of South Florida. What you’re seeing is before the engines were rebuilt — and it shows. Powered by three Detroit Diesel 6-71 inline 6-cylinder engines, this hardworking vessel has run countless trips, but the wear and tear is clear. These engines are tired, oily, and running rough — and that’s exactly why we’re documenting this moment right before they are overhauled.
