In Response To: Re: Diesel vs. Gas HP (Carl)

You guys make me feel really great! You know that I've just put in two 8.1 ltr EFI Crusaders in Bulletproof. Here in New England we have only three months to play in so the extra cost was substantial. Not to mention the reality that I just didn't have enough money in my budget to but Diesels..... Maybe another life. I'm happy with my choice given the parameters (mostly money). The are really clean, a little more power, 385 HP with more torque, 440 lbs. We ought to really move in a calm sea. The boat will never have to work to do anything because she's so over powered. I'll be an interesting experiment to say the least. We go in in June of next year so you'll all be hearing about my results.

I'm just happy that I won't have to smell the diesel fumes... Another B31 in the harbor started up the other day and was surrounded by a cloud of white smoke all around the cockpit (no wind of course...)
