OK folks, here's one for you.
Which engine would you prefer, and why, to push a 34,000lb full displacement 39' trawler? Assume primarily coastal crusing with future plans for extended cruising away from the US. Assume engine is powering nothing but a prop and an alternator (no water maker pump, etc.)
American Diesel 6N140 (naturally aspirated, in-line 6, 140hp)
or
John Deere 4045 TFM (turbo, 4 cyl, 115hp)
Cheers!
