Dear David,
                I replaced my Atomic4 with a Sole Diesel 26 HP. Having 
had the engine for one season, under varying conditions including 
pushing through Dodd Narrows an hour early (! My mistake) I have nothing 
but praise for this splendid little engine. The footprint is smaller 
than the Atomic and the top of the engine is lower and flat in the 
engine "box" which makes maintenance very easy. Not inexpensive, I 
admit, but I don't regret the decision one bit. The Sole is a Marine 
version of Mitsubishi, put out from Spain. That's my two cents! Jonathan 
Whittingham.
