That 1.7 liter diesel with the Alpha One drive has gotten some good press in the past few years. I seem to recall that ProSports catamaran teste from a years or so ago too.

I read the current Popular Mechanics article on Saturday at the barber's shop. Again I think those new Trophy walkarounds look sharp. I can't imagine anyone buying one with the gas 4 cylinder IO, but the diesel 4 seems like a viable option. If I were buying new I would probably go with a 150 HP outboard, but the test results on the diesel were impressive.
