I am currently considering repowering my boat, and would like some information concerning the advantages of converting from a 5.7L mercruiser to a smaller Diesel.

I realize that more than the engine would have to be changed, and once i make up my mind, those items will be address.

The boat max's out at approx 6000 pounds (fully loaded) I am not looking for a speed boat, but would like to cruise at approx 18-20kts.

Am i asking too much?

Re: Gas to Diesel

even the smallest diesel will pound that alpha apart rapidly, your looking at a complete package.
decide if the cost is woth the fuel and go for it :)
