In Response To: Re: Diesels & Fuel (Scott D.)

General rule on payback is if you use your boat less than 200- 250 hours per year then diesels would not be really justifiable. I run 300 hours per year on my diesels and would have it no other way running twin 250 HP turbos and yielding 1.28 KMPG or 1.48 Statue MPG pushing 18,000 lbs. The safety issue is big with me. Repower cost could be $64K for diesel.
