Re: Diesel I/O opinions?
You're right, it was in Ship Shape TV last week and the diesel came out on top in every category except top end. There are a lot of great I/O diesel combinations out there and I think they're more than worth the money. This would be a great addition to any Seacraft and I highly recommend it if you can afford it! Another choice would be the 240 hp Supercharged dual rotor Mazda rotary engine from MarineRotaryPower.com. I saw a dual installation on a Bertram 25 and they looked fantastic. Each engine fits in an approximately 2 cubic foot space and weigh less than 300 lbs, that's almost a 1:1 hp to weight ratio! I would like to know more about their reliability and fuel economy, has anyone ever heard of these engines?
