New diesel outboard in AU

That is a real knockout boat. Love that shearline. And 600 mile range. Funny how the red stripe around the cabin top is red, then it is not. But I guess for that price, you can get some really tricky paint.

There was a diesel outboard booth at the last few SF boatshows. It was HUGE and heavy, cool to check out but I think only corporations or the government could afford them. (Or want them for long distance patrol fuel economy)

OXE diesel outboard has been around for awhile. Doesn't seem to have caught on. The size and weight is a problem for smaller boats. I also read that the vibration and noise are noticeably higher than a gas O/B. Ok for work and military/LE, not so much for recreational stuff.
 
The 200 hp is 771 lbs weight. That is almost 300# more than the Yamaha inline 4 200 hp. It costs only $46,000 lbs plus rigging.

Not ready for C Dory time!
