Art,
mahal's point is that no matter how good your maintenance is THINGS HAPPEN. The safety aspect of gasoline engines in a boat can not be avoided. The potential for a fire or explosion can only be reduced.

I wanted this to be an objective discussion about the merits of gas engines but some people like Mark and Marin are having a love affair with the smelly one and can't seem to get their emotional feelings under control. They are just machines ... engines. Both gas and diesel engines can make some nice music but mostly they just make noise. These feelings of affection and gushing rhetoric to embrace some imagined romantic aspect of diesel engines has ruined this thread (mostly) but we've still managed to get some related/unrelated and interesting words in.
