Don't forget about engines going away

I was reminded of the fact that at the end of the year the tier ll regulations will prevent many mechanical diesel engines from being sold anymore.

I've had numerous inquiries last week and suggested even if they owners did not want to repower right away, buy the engines now.
Manufacturers will not want to get stuck with unsellable inventory so engines will start to become scarce by the end of summer and as the rush increases.

Also the price for these electronic engines are much higher than the mechanical engines.

The Yanmar 240 is one of those casualties. A great engine going by by.

New stuff is supposed to be out in June. Don't hold your breath.
