Will check further but *heard* there was a China built diesel.

What a shame. I had the opportunity to see one in action, the 27hp. It
started easily, used very little fuel, and the boaters that owned it had
had it quite a few years with zero downtime.

Unfortunately, the dealers had it priced, in the USA, as if it were made of
Platinum and built by hand at the Rolls Royce Car Factory. So, THAT much
more than lesser outboards....it didn't sell here like they wanted.

It's very unfortunate.....great engine for a small sailboat auxiliary.
