My next one will have the MTU 16v 2000 M93s
How much do you think they will cost Paul?? Don't know much about oil burners.

Tony , There is more to it then the fuel savings as you will see.

Ron a good used one will cost more the 2x what your boat cost.

Fastestone , Very Impressive but not the fastest one here .

After my overall learning experience and exposure to boats & boating I have come to the following personal conclusions:

Gas outboards are great.

Now, take the economics out of the equation for a moment.

Other than a "day" boat, say under 10,000 lbs, any inboard system especially with a generator should be equipped with diesel engines.

Today's diesels offer far more reliablity, safety and longevity than any other alternative.

Now, add back in the economics and the entire picture skews back to reality.

There are limitations to what can be done with a 454 gas engine. Increasing the HP per cubic inch of factory displacement creates ancilary issues that will have to be handled, or there will be consequences.

300 horse... per cylinder? sooo your cranking 1200 horse out and only doing a 7.70 quarter mile? what are your 60 foot times?

I know there's more to it than just the mpg thing king dude

But with this boat and not keeping her as the retirement boat its not worth 50k to change it over so if I ever have to repower it'll be reman 454's

Never seen a drag boat with a 1,200HP 2-liter 4-cylinder in it ...

OK. But how does it apply if the owner is the driver?

And I know some over paid part changers that hang here . And if I was over paid I'd have a bigger boat

And Allen if you own and still drive guys like me call them prey.
