<DIV><FONT size=2>Tom: Yes the M4-30 was discontinued. It is a 4
cylinder that weighs 265 pounds. You are correct that all of the small
block engines are marinized Kubota's. Mine has the same Hurth transmission
with the 2:05 ratio. I have had the boat 2 years. The original owner
had not used the boat much so the only problem I had was algae growing in the
fuel tank. Once I cleared that out (back in 98) the engine has been
great. It is amazing smooth. I have a 10 gallon tank under the
cockpit sole.</FONT></DIV>
