<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> I can't really comment on the Bukh deisel
since the A30 I had was wquipped with an Atomic4. What no one has mentioned is
that the A4 is 30 HP but only at 3000 RPM. At normal running speeds of 15 - 1800
RPM it is considerably less. I forget exactly what the number is but I think it
is somewhere around 15 HP. If the Bukh is running near it's capacity (which is
good for deisels) the difference between the two is not that great. Of course,
that would also mean that there isn't a lot of reserve power left in the Bukh.
On the A4 side, there isn't a lot of reserve power either since most boats
(almost all A4 installations) can't rev up much higher anyway do to constraints
of prop / hull / transmission ratio design.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=962215502-06012003><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff
size=2>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.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

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.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=905494800-06012003><FONT face=Arial size=2>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.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
