Buddy , I had diesels in my 257 Mirage before [ it was a promo deal from Merc ] now back to gas . Diesels put my rear down a few extra inches , but my boat is short so no wonder . I'd use a diesel in a boat over 30' any day .
Diesels give a much cleaner look compared to gas

The engines were on loan from Merc while my friend worked for Land & Sea in Seattle . He had to give the engines up when they parted from L & S .The twin 250 HP units gave the boat an honest 65 MPH through the Bravo1 X 1.65 diesel drives , which is still on the boat .
I'm happy with the 377's w/Smartcraft though. These engines are pretty happy with B1 26P props .

LoL instead of octane issues its Cetane issues and then theres the issues with lubricity, sulfur content, contaminate levels and the biggie moisture levels. Diesel lovers creed " More Fuel more air equals more FUN!
