I think the large Honda is an automotive engine, dry slumped and on end. |

According to the article is also costs twice what a 200hp Yamaha 4 stroke goes for. Ouch! |

Diesels 'usually' last Ingersoll than a gas job and are much more economical on fuel. But what you save in fuel costs probably don't over ride the massive up front expense of the whole unit. Bad trade off IMO. |

Bad trade off IMO. They said the main market was military and commercial, with some tenders for yachts where price was no issue but fuel compatibility was. It wouldn't make sense for pleasure boating. |

Diesels 'usually' last Ingersoll than a gas job and are much more economical on fuel." How auto check thought that "Ingersoll " would be a good substitute for "longer" is beyond me...🙄 |

Bad trade off IMO. === Increased range because of greater fuel economy is the most common reason for justifying the higher cost. Diesels use almost 50% less fuel for the same power output, and have higher low end torque. --- This email has been checked for viruses by AVG. http://www.avg.com |
