Worse yet, I'm sure that somebody is about to chime in and *insist* that a
21-foot Bayliner has a diesel engine.

A 21-foot Bayliner requires a diesel engine to go more than 500' offshore.
That good enough Chuck?

Only if it has spark plugs, and has to be rebuilt every 700 hours. :-)

Good one. I wonder at times why there are not more small diesel placed in
small fishing boats. When traveling in Europe, lots of small diesel cars.
1.5L size engines. These should make good fishing boat engines. I know
Mercruiser uses a Cummings 1.7L in some of their packages. e.g. 28' Procat.

I suspect we will see more diesel applications in the near future. I don't care
what the guys with the "for the price of a diesel egine I can afford to burn up
a lot of gasoline" argument say, I think the current economics of feeding 100
gph or more into twin 454's (at $2.50 -$3.00 a gallon) is going to inspire some
people who thought they had reached a gas vs. diesel conclusion to reconsider.

Welllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll...if you still consider a Trophy as a
Bayliner then YES! The Trophy 2052 (21' 7" LOA - other manufacturers call
it 21 foot...Trophy calls it 20 foot) does come with a diesel. lol Link is
he

Of course Trophy has been it's own company since the end of 2001 but it does
have it's roots in Bayliner.

It isn't its own company. Bayliner simply stopped using the "Bayliner"
name in connection with Trophy boats for marketing reasons.

The problem with the "diesel" Trophy has nothing to do with the fact it
is mounted in a Bayliner. The problem is that it is mounted in
conjunction with an I/O.
