Stephen,
Thanks for the feedback.  The installation is original and the man who
owns the boat used to work for Whitby boats and knows them quite well.
My real question relates to the power issue and that is - does the Buhk
have sufficient power for extended cruising in the Great Lakes.  I
understand the economic and safety issues of gas vs diesel but my
concern is the power issue and the fact that the Bukh is only a single
cylinder engine.

Dave,
 
If the boats are similar in price, condition and options, I would
purchase the Alberg with the diesel. The motors are more fuel efficient,
safer than gasoline and command a greater price on resale. I would make
sure the installation was done correctly which includes a fuel/water
separator in the fuel system, water in a diesel will cause all type of
issues with the fuel system.

I would appreciate some input,
 
For those of you who are more familiar with the A30 variants I have a
request for your input.  I am looking at two similarly equipped A30's
one has the buhk diesel and the other has the atomic 4.  With out
wishing to offend anyone, what is the opinion as to which one I should
give the greater consideration.  My main sailing will be cruising Lake
Erie and eventually the other Great Lakes and the Northern Channel for
several weeks at a time along with my wife.
 
Thanks again for any and all info
