Default Newbee question. Bayliners on open sea

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.
