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?


Yes. It's just another pitiful attempt by the four stroke crowd to
salvage something out of their ancient technology in the face of
clearly superior two stroke, direct injected technology. Namely ETECs
which, as we all know, are the wave (get it wave?) of the future. :)

Sad isn't it?


Those ancient 4 strokes do not blow up as often as those Evinrude Etec
forerunner clones.


Oh yeah - bring up a little bitty minor problem.

I mean come on - teeny weeny incident with a few 150 hp engines and
suddenly the whole world is falling down. :)

Terribly I suspect.

"Similar Performance to 175hp, 225hp or 300hp Gasoline Four-stroke
Engines (depending on power level)."

No thanks - if I wanted heavy four stroke ancient tech Yamaha's on the
back, I would have kept them on the boat. :)

TWO STROKES RULE!!!!

You may have missed this...It's very well written.

So why are you posting into the metalworking newsgroups? Id be terribly
surprised if you could operate a cordless drill motor without a
catastrophic accident, let alone machinery weighing many tons and
holding microns of accuracy when cutting metals.

Frankly, your constant crossposting into the two metalworking groups and
showing everyone your ass, appears to be a pathetic cry for attention.
I notice you have largely worn out your welcome on the boat newsgroup,
....its not even in your the cross post list. Most of your posts are not.
One assumes you have come over to the metalworking groups, and left out
your boat group, because you really didnt want the other there, who
already hold you in deep contempt, from seeing you get your ass handed
to you in such a regular fashion.

**** off, ****mere. Its no wonder they call you Bloater.
