I think the D4 is a little too heavy for a 23 (1400lbs) vs the 720 of the D3. I also considered the Steyr, at 250 HP, it is very light as well and may work in the 23 mated to a Bravo I Diesel drive, but I stuck with VP. I will let you know how it goes in a few weeks.

Dan-Your right the D-4 would be too heavy @ 1400 lbs. Jim- for VP, I agree with Dan on the D-3. It would be the one to go with. The performance and fuel #'s are solid on these motors. Anyone know the motor and weight of the original Diesel installed in the 23 back in the 70's? I am checking on the Yanmar and Steyr for weight/price.
