Scott,
I bought a Mitsubishi from Klassen Engines (now Yukon Power Systems). These people have been serving the fishing fleet in BC Canada and Alaska for about 50 years. Being a commercial supplier they avoid a lot of the extra marketing effort needed in the pleasure boat segment of this industry.
Yukon sells Isuzu and Mitsubishi engines. I cruise at 2300rpm (rated at 3000) and have no need or desire for a slower turning engine. At that rpm I'm at a 50% load. My 4cyl engine is quite smooth and runs on PolyFlex engine mounts. My boat is powered at 5hp per ton of displacement and it's probably a tad more than needed.
Yukon is located in Seattle. Phone is 206 784 0148. You'll be treated much like a commercial fisherman and enjoy their pricing advantage.
