RE: Diesel Engines - The Good, The Bad & The Ugly?

Great responses, thanks. Interesting that my "gut" feeling from reading blogs, forums, magazine articles and talking with boat owners was very similar to John's list. So far it seems my preference would be for a set of Lehman 135's. I'm going to look at this Defever with a set in a few weeks (http://www.whiteakeryachtsales.com/1...-TAR-BABY.aspx) if it had Volvo's I's still want to look at it but be less interested.

And I do agree with you Keith that condition and age are more important.

I remember reading somewhere about a specific model Cat motor that is notorious for breaking the original motor mounts that Cat spec'ed but I can't recall the specific model - anyone know which one I'm referring to? Thanks.
