Has anybody had any experience with these engines or know what they are like. Fuel consumption, reliabilty, maintenance etc?

Yes,

They are a fine engine. Enough of them around these days. Just pop the top on a Bayliner or Searay (the smaller ones) and they are everywhere....

Saltwater cooled (unless you pay the big bucks), reliable, probably $500-1000 per year for engine and drive unit servicing.

What boat are you looking at with one?

Was just looking into a bit of info on the new Quinny Freedom Cruisers. They look like a really nice boat and really well priced i reckon in comparison to the same boat with an outboard. Plenty of space to.
Thanks for info BM
