Mercury Marine and several others have high horsepower diesel outboards
under development and maybe in production or close to it. I saw a model
claiming 200 hp a couple of years ago at a boat show...don't remember
the brand name, ?X something or other?

Oxe(?)

With all the nice 1.7L diesels in non American cars, should be easy to
design a nice diesel outboard. I think the large Honda is an automotive
engine, dry slumped and on end.

I just read about the Oxe. It uses a 2.0 GM diesel. According to the article is also costs twice what a 200hp Yamaha 4 stroke goes for. Ouch!
