Soundings just had an article on a guy who replaced older gas engines with diesel. He saved thousands on fuel and picked up a fair amount of range Leanne wrote: Is it cost effective due to the higher price of diesels. It depends of course on how you calculate cost effectiveness. This particular boat was a planing boat, and the increased efficiency of the diesels allowed the boat to carry somewhat less fuel, making it lighter & easier to plane, and increased range at the same time. The engines were expensive, but over their expected service life they will more than repay the greater cost *if* the owner often uses the boat to go longer distances in open water, as planned.
