I have a personal dislike of high speed, light weight diesels, but they
are less expensive than lower RPM units.
I also was not real happy with experience with Yanmar iron over a 10 year
period.
Know others who have not been happy with Yanmar customer service or lack
of it.
Having said all that, you might have a totally different experience.
I wouldn't let an engine sway me one way or another if the rest of the
boat is good.
