Diesel or Gas power for a 400ss... pros and cons
Hi all.
I am still 400ss shopping.
Most of the ones I have found are 2002-2004 with the B3x and 496 motors...
I have found a few with diesel power, with B3x. The diesel ones seem to typically have more hours on them.
Just didn't know what differences I would experience with each of these... would appreciate any insight anyone can offer...
top speed, fuel consumption, crusing speed, maintenance, repairs, etc..
THANKS!

Look down about 6 posts:
400SS Gas versus Diesel
Absolutey stay away from the older Mercury/Bravo diesel boats. They are really slow, and put a lot of stress on Bravos.
The newer Volvo D6-370/DP-H packages are the real deal.
