The 165 is a good engine for the 25 and 20. That's a two for one price. My experience with government boats, DEA, FBI, Marine Patrol, and other abc groups is that they take good care of the stuff. After all maintenance is not a problem when you have an unending supply of tax dollars. http://cgi.ebay...

John, While a very popular engine, some models are already not available. Whether this is a result of increased sales, regional demand or a lack of cores they don't know. Cummins is also tightening its belt like other companies which may lead to delay on reman engines. If your serious on the repower...

Your going by the theory that the NTSB report was truthful and correct. And if they based their report on JP-4 then no wonder.
