I own lots of engines. I laugh at idiots who make idiotic statements about
engines.
btw, the ill-fated fishing boat in "The Perfect Storm" had what kind of
engine
installed.
I guarantee you, it was a gasoline engine, according to the author of the
book.
So, was it a gas engine or a diesel or a steam engine or a nuclear reactor?
G I'll guarantee you it was diesel.
No commercial fisherman with a boat that size and the requirements placed on
the engine for continuous operation and power take-offs would be using a gas
engine.
I'll let others argue torque, reliability, time between overhauls, HP and fuel
economy.

Shen, it's a simple Jaxass troll, looking for an argument.
The idiot has never been closer than 100' to a boat like this, and
wouldn't have a clue as to what he was seeing, if he had.
