The only hit that I know of about the 4-108 is that the operator's
manual introduction for bleeding the fuel system starts out with "For
the operator who is unfortunate enough to run out of fuel," and ends up
with "If this doesn't work, call for professional help...You do have a
working radio and did remember to pack some flares, didn't you?"

It's a real dog to bleed.

Presuming you were looking to buy a used boat, which engine would you rather
see in her:

Remanufactured Perkins 4-108
New BetaMarine 1505
New Yanmar 3JH3E

These are all adequate to the job of pushing a 16000 # boat at hull speed,
so the question is one of your personal preference.
