Think Beta, they are Kubota based.
Which is a tractor engine converted by several manufacturers (Universal,
Westerbeake, Sole) to a marine engine.
This may not necessarily be bad however I would prefer an engine
purpose-built as a marine engine. One thing with the Kubota, you can get
some parts cheaper by going to the tractor dealers as opposed to the marine
dealers.
