I thought the Iveco marine diesels (FPT) had the best power curve when I was digging deep...but that was about a dozen years ago.
The thing is, the Iveco brand was selling for about 20% less than the Cats. So, that's a lot of $ for a different name badge stuck on there. Yeah, I know there are some differences and service, etc etc. But still.....it's even called "C13" in the Iveco lineup. The C13-770s are where I'd look first for my 52C if disaster strikes.

Re: 53MY Repower
We are waiting on the new struts. In the mean time, I have pulled all of the old wiring, installed the new 12v battery banks and charger, and I'm currently working on the new helm layouts. At the current rate of progress, I'm thinking it will be June before we sea trial.
