Inboard options 6.0 vs 5.7 vs Diesel

[Highway12]

The 6 cyl would be a really tight fit in the 23. The 260 is a marine conversion of a BMW motor. Full of electronics in a hull that always seems to have some water in it. It's a shame they had to stop the 4lh series in the US, it really is a perfect motor for the inboard. Light, plenty of power and sips fuel. The boat will stay on plane at 11 knots. At that speed the boat can handle some pretty nasty seas that most small boats could not. I think thats what makes the inboard so unique.
