All I gotta say is WOW!!! *I was at the Houston International boat show yesterday and across from my wife's booth is an engine dealer(one of her competitors actually). *They had a 160hp Iveco straight 6 N/A engine with gear and all for $11,000!!!! *Not only that, it achieves that rating at a max RPM of 1800RPMs. *So cruise RPM would likely be in the 1200-1500 range. *What a perfect motor for a trawler and what a deal on the price!!!! *
I know this manufacturer keeps popping up in the repower threads but man, what a perfect engine for a trawler. *And for $11k with tranny!!!!!
*
PS....I travel all over the world and Iveco is much more popular in other countries(like Hino) and I would imagine parts support would not be an issue.
