Re: Diesel I/O opinions?
Steve,
Although I'm not a fan of I/O's in general, I do like the diesel versions from both Mercury/Cummins and Volvo. I think you can even hitch a Yanmar up to the Merc drive too. If I remember correctly, there was a member on this site that has a Sceptre with a diesel I/O config, so if you do a search you might find him. Range is definitely the upside, plus it seems the newer diesels run quieter and smoke less than their predecessors and even their big brothers. With gas well over $2.25/gallon at most marinas, having a diesel would be nice.
