Wonder how they would work on a triple engine Grady?

To me, it doesn't seem that the advantages of a diesel translate well to
an outboard engine, especially a turbo diesel. Am I missing something?


No. :)

Further, I don't see the advantage of having an outboard diesel spinning
at 4000 rpms. One of the advantages of diesels is longevity, and I don't
think that "happens" when the engines spin that fast. A little more than
half that engine speed is what I believe is necessary for long diesel
life. Further, to develop that sort of HP from 3 liters probably means
the diesel is turbocharged.
