I understand they are fine engines. Quiet too. I used to have a Grady
similar to yours. 27" Marlin with volvo diesel & duoprop I/O.
The damned I/O gave me a fit, and after several calls to sea tow, I sold
the boat.As it turns out I wasn't the only owner to have problems with
that particular engine&I/O combination. But I did like the Grady's
layout and quality.

I looked at you performance charts, and it looked pretty good. Do you
have any fuel consumption comparisons?



No hard figures; just watching the "fuel gauge needle fall rate" gives
the impression that I am getting *much* better fuel consumption. I
wish I had some way of computing MPG, but I don't.

One thing I forgot to add is that they start *immediately*, even after
a week of sitting idle.
