Ron, I am responding to your quote below. When did you re-power the 79 sceptre? What engine did the boat have before? I have removed from my old (modified) 23' SC two 6-cyl in-line gas engines + outdrives, and am thinking of replacing the two gas engines with one diesel like yours. Thanks for info, aaf

"I have a 315 hp Yanmar/Bravo1 x drive in my 79 sceptre.
50 mph wide open,32 mph cruise 6-7gallons per hour.It is the same weight as a 454 mercruiser. It is a very economical boat. Ron"

Diesel is also a whole lot safer than carrying around a gasoline bomb in your boat.
