Had a good friend who put a 3gm in a magnificently rebuilt Alberg, and he was 
happy, but he really had to shoehorn it in and in the end,  he said the 
increase in speed was marginal (due to hull speed limitations) and with that 
smidge more of speed came and increase in noise and vibration over people he 
knew (like me) that had a 2gm, and a decrease in accessibility to different 
parts of the engine. Tough little engine the 2gm. Never failed anyone I know 
who has it.
To those who would put in a 3gm, I say: "There is more engineering under 
Heaven and at Sea than is dreamt of in your philosophy, Horatio."
