Yanmar vs. Perkins
Well they don''t make those Perkins any more but they sure made a lot of them and many still going. That said I have a smaller Perkins. Engines are funny things. Well cared for you could expect 6,000 hours before a major rebuild. Improperly cared for they might only last 700 hours or less.
IMHO, it''s not so much the brand but the condition and history of the specific engine that matters more. This would of course include an estimation of the proper size for the boat as well as the installation, transmission and all the assorted accesories.
It''s not the engine review you need it''s a total package. You are only buying one used engine not the whole company.
