It will use much less fuel than even a 300 four-stroke Zuke, have a projected engine life of 10 thousand hours or MORE, compared to 2000 for the OB, and cost about $30K installed.

Even if you get 2X the fuel mileage with the diesel, the cost savings at the end of the useful life of the gas engine brings the cost of the diesel down to $25K.
My question is how many of us have put on 2,000 hours on a boat, re-powered and kept the boat?
IMO unless you are commercial or are planning on keeping the boat for ever, diesel still costs to much.

I agree, you could buy 2 Zukes for that, that cabin weighs something and my Sceptre rode heavier in the bow than a CC.
