I was jsut looking through Gene Kearns's collection of rec.boats
subscriber pics, and say K.'s 34 foot cruiser with a Tiapan outboard
diesel (semed huge!)

I never knew there was such a thing. I wonder why this isn't more
popular. actually It looks like a good idea to me

Look at the pitch on the prop, it's probably a 30HP diesel in an outboard
package that would be a 250HP if gas.
