RE: To Yanmar or not

"The 175hp is 6PHMHTE. That's what the 175hp broker says.
The boat I want has the 140hp engine"

It's been a while but that 140 hp engine sounds like it may be the same one I*stayed away from.
It was an industrial engine, suposedly very strong, and that was all I could find out about it. That includes a few e mails to Tony Athens on boatdiesel as well as talking to local Yanmar dealers and shops.*I did find that at least some parts were available thru a warehouse in Chicago. I just refused to get back into that kind of a situation.
