Keep the information flowing despite the uncalled for comments.
I have a question for you and other members, if you were to look ahead would you anticipate in 3 years there might be a suitable diesel in the 180-220Hp range for a Cozy.
There seems to be a lot of development work underway by quite a few reputable companies, the question is whether they will make it in the next little while. I anticipate needing an engine in three years or so and having grown up on a farm around diesels am quite comfortable with the concept and their simplicity and for my family anyway always seemed to be working fine. Some of our engines had 5000 hours with no problems and a lot of those hours were at or near maximum RPM. It would be so nice to ditch the mixture, spark plugs etc etc for a single lever diesel.
Enough rambling from me, comments from the crystal ball gazers is appreciated.
