If you go Yanmar, despite it being Toyota, which is a pretty good engine, it will be electronic and require a geek with a computer to tune it. The 3208s are like Lehmans (although V8s are a bugger to work on compared to 6 cyl. IMHO) you can do most repairs with a crescent wrench and a hammer. Cats and Cummins are horribly expensive if you have to do anything with a dealer, stay away and you will be much happier with the Cat.

Watch the mechanic, don't let him screw you. A boat dollar or two is easy to hide with a repower...
