By the way, what ever
happened to diesel outboards? Didn't Yanmar make these great heavy
monsters?



Yanmar priced them like a Lincoln Navigator, fully loaded, which meant
their demise. Evidently, most boaters aren't nearly as stupid as Yanmar
thought they were. They still sell very well in countries with so much
socialism that gas is $6/gallon, loaded up with taxes.

The Yanmar doesn't even have leather seats with lumbar supports....or
climate controlled air conditioning.

At $2/gallon, it would have to last 187 years to get a break-even point....
