No. Island Eagle has a single 6-110; Starlight has twin 6-71s. If I had a choice, I'd have a 6-71 instead of a g-110. It's the single most popular diesel engine ever built, and parts are universally available at low cost.

Fuel burn is unimportant in the scheme of things, it will represent less than 5% of the cost of owning a boat.
