I posted about my engine issues. I decided to most likely rebuild the current crusaders but I talked with some people and decided for the heck of it to look into repowering with diesel.

I was considering Yanmar because of the weight and what I hear about them. A salesperson brought up an engine that I know nothing about and claims its much better than Yanmar. What do you think about Peninsular Diesel engines compared to Yanmar? The engine looks like it would be a "shoe in" on my boat, costs less, is supposed to last 8000hrs before overhaul compared to Yanmar at 3000hrs. (All this info from the salesman) I wouldn't have to change the shafts, coolant lines or anything other than the props.

Thanks...
