Marine engines are serious money.

There are a lot of good specs on that website.

Steyr has some cool engines. Their marine engines and some military spec engines have a special mode where if the electronics fail, they can be run in a purely mechanical back-up mode so you don't get stranded.

This is a 6 cylinder with 450 lbs.ft torque!

Now there's an engineer who's lived and experienced a little, eh?  I'd love to have a TDI in a boat but I'd be a little leery about getting service in some remote port.  On the TDI in a boat topic : http://forums.tdiclub.com/showthread.php?t=273670 (http://forums.tdiclub.com/showthread.php?t=273670)  A guy from BC posted in that post.  He built a 18' jetboat with a 150 PD engine!  He uses it as a real workhorse.
